native-bees
Native bees are wild, region-specific pollinator species that have co-evolved alongside local flora, often exhibiting specialized foraging behaviors and floral preferences distinct from managed honeybees. They play a critical role in plant reproduction by facilitating pollination for a wide range of native and cultivated plant species, many of which rely on the unique pollination mechanics—such as buzz pollination—that only certain native bee species can perform. Studying native bees helps researchers understand plant-pollinator coevolution, biodiversity conservation, and the resilience of ecosystems and agricultural systems to environmental change.
