Daidzeiniini

Daidzeiniini is a genus of bees in the family Apidae. They are small, metallic-colored bees that are native to the tropical regions of Central and South America. The name "Daidzeiniini" comes from the Greek word "dais" meaning "oath" and "zeinon" meaning "tooth", referring to the genus's dental structure.

Species in the Daidzeiniini genus are typically found in open, sunny areas with an abundance of flowers. They are active during the day and are known to visit a variety of flowering plants in search of nectar. Daidzeiniini bees are usually found alone or in small groups and are not typically social insects.

These bees are characterized by their small size and metallic-colored bodies. The majority of the species are all-black with a slight blue or bronze sheen, although some have a yellow or orange tint. The surface of their bodies is typically covered in fine, hairs which can give them a slightly fuzzy appearance.

Some species of Daidzeiniini are considered to be beneficial to local ecosystems, as they are known to transfer pollen and assist in the reproduction of flowers. Like many other bees, Daidzeiniini are also important pollinators of crops and wildflowers.

Research on Daidzeiniini is ongoing, however, limited information is available regarding their behavior, social relationships, and environmental habits. Their taxonomic classification and evolutionary history require further study.
