1. Andrenidae

   The Andrenidae (commonly known as mining bees) are a large, nearly cosmopolitan family of solitary, ground-nesting bees. Most of the family's diversity is located in temperate or arid areas (warm temperate xeric). It includes some enormous genera (e.g., Andrena with over 1300 species, and Perdita with over 700). One of the subfamilies, Oxaeinae, is so different in appearance that they were typically accorded family status, but careful phylogenetic analysis reveals them to be an offshoot within the Andrenidae, very close to the Andreninae.

1. andrenidae

   Andrenidae is a large family of bees, known as mining bees due to their ground-nesting behavior. They are particularly noted for their early spring activity, especially during the pollination of fruit trees. They can be quite small in size and they are often solitary, although some species do form communal nests. The family contains more than 1300 species, distributed all over the world.

1. Andrenidae

   The Andrenidae are a large cosmopolitan nonparasitic bee family, with most of the diversity in temperate and/or arid areas, including some truly enormous genera. One of the subfamilies, the Oxaeinae, is so different in appearance, they were typically accorded family status, but careful phylogenetic analysis reveals them to be an offshoot within the Andrenidae, very close to the Andreninae. They are typically small to moderate-sized bees, which often have scopae on the basal segments of the leg in addition to the tibia, and are commonly oligolectic. They can be separated from other bee families by the presence of two subantennal sutures on the face, a primitive trait shared with the sphecoid wasps. Many groups also have depressions or grooves called "foveae" on the head near the upper margin of the eyes, another feature seen in sphecoids, and also shared by some Colletidae. Andrenids are among the few bee families that have no cleptoparasitic species. There are also a very large number of taxa, especially among the Panurginae, whose sting apparatus is so reduced that they are effectively unable to sting.
