Bee -
Eastern Carpenter Bee (
Xylocopa virginica ), a
large
carpenter bee : are not solitary bees (独居蜂), but are not truly social either. The
weak form of sociality they exhibit, with one female doing the majority of the
work, and caring for her sisters, may be a transitional step in the evolution of
sociality. However they tend to be gregarious, and often several will nest near
each other.

Bumble Bee 熊蜂 -
Brown-belted Bumble Bee (Bombus
griseocollis), male: <1> (bugguide

Giant Resin Bee ( Megachile
sculpturalis ) : <2> (bugguide
link), look similar to
Small Carpenter Bee.
It is one of the largest
members of the leafcutting bee 切葉蜂 family, Megachilidae.
It’s called “giant” because, at sizes of from one-half inch to almost one inch,
it is conspicuously larger than other leafcutting bees.

mellifera) 西方蜜蜂

(2)
熊蜂属 (Bombus) 的种类营社会性生活，每巢有一只蜂后、多只雄蜂和工蜂。拟熊蜂属 (Psithyrus,
Cuckoo bumblebees) 为非社会性昆虫，但将卵产在熊蜂属种类的巢内，由其工蜂照看。由于两者形态极为相似，英国的
P. vestalis (I think the correct name is
Bombus vestalis) 有时把熊蜂属的蜂后螫死，这样就不再产生熊蜂属的幼虫，工蜂就专门照料前者的幼虫。
baidu
(2b)
B. vestalis is
a cuckoo bumblebee; it does not construct any nest of its own, but usurps the
nest of Bombus
terrestris,
kills the host queen, and lets the host workers raise its offspring.[3] The
male bumblebees often congregate in gardens in the suburbs.

(3) 蜜蜂科包含有熊蜂属、麦蜂属、无刺蜂属
(stingless
bees)、壁蜂属、切叶蜂属 (Giant
Resin Bee is a leaf-cutter bee)、蜜蜂属等。

(4) 蜜蜂属下由 9个独立种构成：西方蜜蜂、小蜜蜂、大蜜蜂、东方蜜蜂、黑小蜜蜂、黑
蜜蜂科 大蜜蜂、沙巴蜂、绿努蜂、苏拉威西蜂。根据进化程度和酶谱分析以西方蜜蜂最为高级，东方蜜蜂次之，黑小蜜蜂最低。其中黑小蜜蜂、小蜜蜂、黑大蜜蜂、大蜜蜂、沙巴蜂基本以野生状态生存着为植物授粉作贡献；而中华蜜蜂、西方蜜蜂多以生产用蜂种，普遍为人类饲养。从狭义上指蜜蜂属尤其指家养的意大利蜂、中华蜜蜂、欧洲黑蜂（包括我国的东北黑蜂、伊犁黑蜂）、卡尼鄂拉蜂、高加索蜂。
