The Honey Bee is the obvious one, with its long hairs used for navigation. Most members of the common cuckoo bee genus Coelioxys also have hairy eyes, but those hairs are generally short and, nothing is known of their purpose. In the bee family Andrenidae, only Hairyeye Andrenids have hairs coming out of their eyes. These hairy eyes provide a way for taxonomists to separate the group from other genera, but again, we have no idea why this unusual feature is present. This trim little group of 7 South American species is armored with numerous small pit-like craters that cover its surface. ~~~~~~~~~~{{{{{{0}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~ All photographs are public domain, feel free to download and use as you wish.
