Abstract/Description: | Bees are the most important group of angiosperm-pollinating insects. They arose in the early to mid Cretaceous approximately 140 to 110 million years ago, roughly coincident with the origins and early diversification of flowering plants.Bees clearly arise from within a paraphyletic group of hunting wasps collectively referred to as spheciform wasps (Michener, 2007), sphecoid wasps (Prentice, 1998) or apoid wasps (Melo GAR, 1999). Hence, bees are essentially “vegetarian wasps.” The apoid wasps, including the families Heterogynaidae, Ampulicidae, Crabronidae and Sphecidae, together with the bees comprise the Hymenoptera superfamily Apoidea. An exact origin of bees within the apoid wasps is not clear. Morphological studies (Prentice, 1998; Melo GAR, 1999) have mostly supported placement of bees as sister to the family Crabronidae. Recent molecular studies (Andrew et al., 2012), based on limited taxon sampling for apoid wasps and a limited sampling of genes, have suggested that bees arise from within Crabronidae, thus rendering Crabronidae paraphyletic. The precise placement of bees within Crabronidae remains unclear. |
