蜜蜂(蜂总科，膜翅目)是进化中的主要成功故事之一。它们有11个科约20,000种(Michener 1979)，它们的多样性是鸟类的两倍。除杜鹃以外的所有物种都筑巢并为细胞提供花粉和浓缩花蜜(蜂蜜)，这是幼虫和成虫唯一的食物。除此之外，这个生态位只被几只黄蜂占据。
Bees (superfamily Apoidea, order Hymenoptera) represent one of the major success stories in evolution. With about 20,000 species in 11 families (Michener 1979), they are twice as diverse as birds. All species, except cleptoparasites (cuckoos), construct nests and provision cells with pollen and concentrated nectar (honey), the sole food of both larvae and adults. This niche is otherwise occupied only by a few vespid wasps.
