Bee anatomy involves many names, some of which can be quite specialized.
Here is an illustration of the different structures so that you may find your way in the descriptions and identification criteria.
At the end, you will find a glossary in alphabetical order, if you are looking for a specific word.

A. General traits: dorsal view of a bee.
Colored numbers refer to the entire colored area.

1. Head
