- Summary:There are around 550 different bee species in
Germany. Most of them are solitary bees. They don't live in large
beehives like the honeybee, but each female bee often builds multiple
nests and feeds her offspring alone. Solitary bees use their short
lifespan of a few weeks exclusively to reproduce and to provide food for
their brood to develop into adult bees. Bees depend on the availability
of pollen which they can frequently collect on specific plant species
only.
