Bees have a long proboscis (a complex “tongue”) that enables them to obtain the nectar from
flowers. They have antennae almost universally made up of 13 segments in males and 12 in
females, as is typical for the super family. Bees all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being
the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make
flight difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.
The smallest bee is Trigona minima, a stingless bee whose workers are about 2.1 mm (5/64″)
long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, a leaf cutter bee whose females can attain a
length of 39 mm (1.5″). Members of the family Halictidae, or sweat bees, are the most common
