Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea and are presently considered a clade, called Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in seven recognized biological families.^[1][2] They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

They communicate by smell, vibration, and physical interaction with other bees and more importantly, bees can recognize and react to phromones (the chemical compounds secreted by bees).
