Dabeilles

Dabeilles is not a recognized term in entomology or biology. In French, the sequence des abeilles means bees, and dabeilles may appear as a typographical variant, a misreading, or a fictional or brand name. Because it lacks an established scientific definition, this article treats the word as referring to bees in general when encountered in non-technical contexts.

Bees belong to the order Hymenoptera and are primarily part of the family Apidae, including genera such as Apis (honey bees) and Bombus (bumblebees). Many bees are social or semisocial, living in colonies with a queen, workers, and, in some species, drones. Development from egg to adult occurs through larval and pupal stages inside wax brood cells.

Bees feed on nectar for energy and pollen for protein. While foraging, they pollinate flowering plants, making them essential for ecosystems and agriculture. Some species produce honey and other hive products, and others contribute to pollination without producing obvious products. Nesting habits vary by species, with subterranean, stem-nest, and cavity-nest strategies observed across the group.

Bees face threats from habitat loss, pesticide exposure, diseases, and parasites such as Varroa destructor. Conservation and management efforts emphasize habitat restoration, diversified flowering landscapes, reduced pesticide use, and responsible beekeeping to maintain pollination services and biodiversity.
