Which are Bees and Which Aren't?

Caption

Can you tell which of these creatures are bees and which aren't? According to a survey led by USU biologist Joseph Wilson, many people aren't sure. He found many people know about bee declines and know bees are important pollinators, but have little knowledge of the wide diversity of bee species in the United States. More public education is needed, Wilson says, for effective pollinator conservation.
