Abstract

The species and anatomy of the bee, a member of the insect class (Insecta), have very interesting importance. Although there are many production-oriented studies on bees and beekeeping in our country, it is very important to get enough information on general morphological structures, bee anatomy, bee biochemistry, bee segments, hive systematics, etc. Bees play a major role in the production of pollinators and various food crops, which are very important for the ecosystem. Therefore, understanding the morphology of bees and accessing accurate information is vital for sustainable agriculture and food security. In addition, our country is a bridge between Asia and Europe and constitutes a very important habitat for bees. However, it is very difficult to reach sufficient resources and products, especially on bee anatomy, bee behavior, and beekeeping. For this reason, in this article, bee morphology, various bee races, division of labor in the hive, reproduction stages, and social order of bees are discussed in detail.
