Today’s letter Z is for Zebra Bees. What are zebra bees, you ask? Well, there is no such thing. However, there are no insect (or human!) body parts that start with the last letter of our alphabet. Much like the letter Y, there are also no bee genus or families that start with Z. So once again I have to find a word and relate it to bees.
Today’s letter Y is for Yellow. It turns out there aren’t many (any?) body parts that start with Y, especially for bees. If you know of one, whether in bees or humans, please let me know. Honey bees, while often shown with yellow in drawings, tend more to brown and black, or perhaps with yellow-orange bands. There are plenty of yellow bumblebees, though, and there is even a genus Hylaeus referred to as yellow-faced bees.
