In people's imaginations, bees are reduced to a single species, the honey bee. However, bees are one of the most diverse groups we have on earth, not only in number of species but also life histories, with one thing in common, their love for flowers. In this session we will address bees in their diversity, their most notable characteristics and the reasons that make them the pollinators par excellence.

Generally bees are associated with honey, reducing its perception to a single species. However, their diversity and contribution to food production transcends beyond what could be imagined. This session aims to make the diversity of bees visible and understand their importance in agriculture and the reasons why they are the most efficient pollinators.

Although the honey bee, Apis mellifera, is the most recognized species in our society, it has an endearing history with humans, offering us much more than sweet honey. This session aims to make visible the history of the honey bee, its most essential biological characteristics and its benefits.
