Gordon's Solitary Bee Page An Introduction to the Solitary Bees Bees have probably been around since just after the first flowering plants appeared and fossils date back to the Cenozoic. Bees are not only cute, but are extremely important to the ecology of most habitats as they are the primary pollinators of entomophilous plants (entomophilous plants are plants pollinated by insects, in comparison with anemophilous plants which are pollinated by the wind.) They are therefore of inestimable economic importance as well, in America millions of solitary bees of the family Megachile are farmed and looked after every year because of their pollination services. They have biting chewing mouth parts and two pairs of wings of which the hind pair are generally smaller.
