| Bees are vegetarians, mainly living on sweet plant juice. Pollen serves as their supply of protein. Some bees live in colonies. Most of the bees are solitary. Sometimes solitary bees live in small commons. The small commons primarily enable the solitary bees to rear their offspring together and temporarily to protect themselves. Even sleeping, hibernation and guards groups are formed. Bees which live in colonies however, are non–transient , socially sophisticated and almost perfectly organised.

| | The tawny mining bee is not a social insect. The females build solitary nests (solitary bees), which can often be found in close proximity to others of the same species. Under favourable conditions 50 nests can occur in an area of one square metre. | | |

While the old queens usually die in the autumn the young fertilized queens seek safe homes. With the cold of coming winter huge numbers of worker wasps die from starvation and as a result many colony wasps become solitary. In spring new colonies emerge from the overwintering young queens.
Wasps have a smooth sting which they use to inject crippling substances into their prey and to defend themselves (even by spraying poison) and this sting can be used again and ag... | | |
| | Mason bees | | The genera Hoplitis, Hoplosmia and Osmia are called mason bees. Mason bees are loners (solitary bees) and belong to the family Megachilidae. Approximately 50 different species are found in Central Europe. These include Osmia bicornis and Osmia cornuta.
Mason bees build their nests in walls, cracks in stone, , (sandy) soil, hollow plant... | | |
| | Wool Carder Bee / Leafcutting Bee (Anthidium manicatum) | | The Anthidium manicatum is a solitary bee. It is with characteristic wasp-like black and yellow markings on the body. These yellow markings join on the abdomen.
The males can reach a length of 14 to 18 mm and have 5 spikes on the end of their abdomens.,which they use to defend thei... | | |

The adult wasps are mainly found on umbelliferae flowers, mint, thistle or golden rod plants. Their larvae mostly live as parasites in the nests of some kinds of bees or wasps, for example, digger wasps or solitary wasps. The fertilized females lay their eggs in spring in the nests of their larvae’s hosts. This happens near the brood-cells which have adjacent food stores. The young larvae hatch after a few days and start eating the host’s eggs or larvae. L... | | |
| | ...all white feeds on the nectar of various flowering plants. The females lay about 150 eggs on the food plants of their caterpillars - Cruciferae, cabbage, Reseda, cress, mustard and radish - which hatch after a maximum of 8 days. The caterpillars are solitary. After moulting four times they pupate. If the pupae do not hibernate, the new butterflies emerge after 10 days. The small white produces 2 - 3 new generations a year. | | |
| | The red admiral is found in almost every environment. It feeds on the nectar of Eupatorium or ivy blossoms and on the juices of fallen fruits. Red admiral caterpillars are black and yellow. They feed exclusively on large nettles and are solitary, living on leaves joined together with their silk. The red admiral is a migrant species and flies to Northern Europe in May. It returns to Southern Europe in October for the winter. The red admiral produces 2 new generations per year. | | |
| | ...pical species - develop in 6 larval stages. Locusts usually spend the winter in the egg state but there are species which overwinter as larvae or adults. Orthoptera can be herbivores or omnivores. 2 species live on aphids. As a rule, Orthoptera are solitary animals, however, migratory locusts live temporarily in large swarms, and can cause major damage to crops . In some cultures, Orthoptera in general constitute part of the diet. | | |
| | Anthophora and Amegilla are solitary bees which don’t build colonies. These bees can reach body lengths of 8-16 mm. Their bodies are compact, stocky and densely hairy and they resemble bumble bees. They have strikingly large compound eyes and simple eyes fixed to a ‘plinth’ betwee... | | |
