There are approximately 20,000 species of bees. Why does it matter what kind of be it is? Here's one reason. A carpenter bee looks alot like a bumblebee but bumblebees don't bore into the eaves of the house (up where the rain gutters are) and build a hive there, carpenter bees do and hiring an exterminator is expensive. Also only the female carpenter bees can sting, not males, so that's only important if you're afraid of getting stung. Most people are a bit.

things in a rainforest:\n\nstingless bees, blue in color\nlots of trees\nsnakes of many types, etc.

The "angel bug" name is probably a local thing. They could be whiteflies or woolly aphids.\nCheck out some pics:\nhttp://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/pictures/Sternorrhyncha.html

It depends on whether the bees are a swarm or actually ensconced within the tree.  Actually, It really doesn't matter.  Once bees swarm you have about 1/2 hour after they coalesce to get them into a hive (or they will find their own place).  So you have to have all the necessary equipment available beforehand.  Thus, the expiration of your time limit is rapidly approaching.\n\nCollecting swarms is very easy.  Bees are essentially robots, behaviourally programmed.  While swarming, most other behaviours are bypassed.  Swarming bees are amazingly tolerant of handling (for example: if a swarming bee tangled in your hair, you will get stung because YOU panic, if you sit quietly, the bee will untangle itself and fly off).  \n\nSwarming behaviour consists of:\n1) The queen leaving the hive;\n2) A mass of bees joins her;\n3) The swarm leaves the near vicinity if the hive;\n4)  The swarm coalesces (usually on a branch), and sends scouts out.\n5)  The scouts search for a new "enclosed" space for the colony.\n6)  Upon finding a new home, the scout returns to the colony and conveys this info.\n7)  The colony moves to the new location.\n\nI collect bees with the following:  a hive box and a 3'x4' piece of canvas (page of newspaper will do).  You may also need a 20"x20" (or similar size) cardboard box, ladders, loppers, and other tools.  I would also recommend a bee bonnet and a smoker,\n\nUpon arriving at the reported location of the swarm:\n1)  I locate the swarm, and place tarp on the ground near the swarm (generally under it).\n2)  I place the hive box, with  the opening just on one edge of the tarp with the remainder of the tarp in front of the hive box.\n3)  I cut the branch off the tree and lay it on the tarp.  OR\n4)  If the branch is too thick/long to easily cut and handle, or if someone doesn't want their tree butchered, I hold the box directly under the swarm, grab the branch and shake vigorously one or two times.  This will dislodge the swarm into the box.  I immediately place the box on the tarp on one side with the opening near the hive box opening (using the box method, I have collected swarms up to 20 feet up in a tree).\n5)  I move the bees ONLY AFTER NIGHTFALL!  If you move them during daylight, some bees will be out foraging and when they return their HOME will not be there.  There is nothing more ornery than a bee that returns home and finds it gone.  Also, the hive must be moved at least three, preferably five miles from it's location.  This distance causes the foraging bees to reprogram the new location of the hive and return to the new location.\n\nYour options:\n\n1)  If the bees are inside the trunk of the tree, fumigate the tree.  Removing bees from an enclosed space is nigh on impossible unless you have  access to the queen.\n2)  There are multiple sources on the web for good answers on beekeeping.  Try google.com or yahoo.com.  \n3)  Read The "Hive and the Honey Bee" by .Dadant & Sons; Rev. ed edition .  Also "The ABC and XYZ of Bee Culture"  A.I. Root.  Best general texts available.\n\nYou may use this information to help your dad, or to further your quest for understanding the world of Bees and beekeeping.

Not around here they aren't. I haven't heard any evidence to say they are, but it is possible. Not very likely however. I would say it is more likely that they are disapearing from a specific place, such as around you, because of changes in the climate, introducion of a new species that is competeing with or eating the bees, or something like that.

There were many. Most ones you would never notice.\n\n3 species of jellyfish, over 20 species of fish, 39 species of snails, 10 species of coral.\n\nOn land, over 400 species of insects, over 50 species of spiders,\n\n3 new mammal species.\n\n100+ species of birds.\n\nAll of these were discovered in the past 10 years. Most are form microhabitats and mosty are threatened by habitat descruction and a few may already be extinct in just the past 10 years.

Call an area apiarist.  They should be able to help you and would most likely remove them at no charge in exchange for the hive.  The bees have value and they now belong to you.

bees are most attracted to brightly colored flowers with a strong scent.\nso i would say the colorfull ones!

biodiversity is how many different types of organisms live in a area. And -it helps because it is less likely for invasion of insects. how are you because my class just finished having a test on this

Several months for honey bees and up to several years for bumble bees.

thousands!  so many, scientists haven't even found and classified them all!\n\nthere are also industrial plants and power plants, but you don't want these in your backyard :)

there called honey bees, and if you need bees to motivate you. perhap a mental health professional is more in order

If you look at the upper surface of the abdomen of a carpenter bee, you will see that it is hairless, black and shiny, while a bumble bee will hairy or at least have some yellow markings.\n\nBumble bees usually nest in the ground while carpenter bees tunnel into wood to make their nests.  Carpenter bees prefer bare, unpainted or weathered softwoods, especially redwood, cedar, cypress or pine.\n\nAfter mating in the spring, the female will lay their eggs in a series of small cells, each egg wrapped in a leaf with a ball of pollen for food.  The tunnels in the wood are perfectly round and about the diameter of your finger.\n\nOver the years, they can do considerable damage to wooden structures.\n\nKeeping wood painted and well maintained is probably the best way to keep carpenter bees at bay.\n\nFemale carpenter bees are not terribly aggressive, and will only sting if extremely provoked.  Male carpenter bees can be quite aggressive, flying into people's faces and even hovering directly in front of them, but fortunately they are completely harmless and have no stinger.
