Bee genera

Pollination services are essential for plant diversity and ecosystem health as well as for agricultural productivity. Reduced pollinator diversity threatens food security and national economies that are reliant on cash crops. The honey bee and a diversity of other bee species are a major component of pollinator diversity. This interactive key and accompanying fact sheets provides a resource that can help those who wish to identify species of value and to undertake management efforts to maximise their effectiveness.

The species key is designed using Lucid 3.5 software &
requires a recent version of Java. See the About The CD
