Bees for Africa

If one were to judge people based on their feeling about bees, there would be very little ambivalence; on one end of a continuum there are people who fear and hate them passionately while on the other end there are those who revere them and a few in between who value them for their positive contribution to mankind. Perhaps the negative feeling about bees is the result of our lack of knowledge about them despite the oldest specimen of bees dating back 100 million years.

Habitat

South Africa (African bee) and (Cape bee). The Cape bee is generally confined to the western and southern Cape regions particularly referred to as the Fynbos region running between Vredendal on the western Atlantic coastline across to Willowvale on the eastern Indian Ocean coastline. The African bee covers the region to the north of this area and various other parts of Africa, including Kenya in East Africa.
