There are about 20K bee species in the world and most of them, about 90%of them, stay alone. Josh had said that there only about 10% of them live in hives and many use them mainly to gain honey. Though they look alike, when we see closely they are not alike.

As per Josh the bees who live alone are better pollinators than the others because they don’t use pollen sacks in their legs to store pollen and they cover themselves with pollen making it easy to pollinate.

As he had said all the pictures have natural light as he doesn’t use lighting in his works related to wildlife. He had said that these bees were all in his bee hotel.
