In his film, Jan Haft shows the almost unbelievable diversity of native wild bees and their amazing adaptations to a wide variety of habitats and living conditions. For most people, "the bee" is the honey bee, which diligently visits flowers and lives as a colony, consisting of a queen and several tens of thousands of workers, in a wooden box or a woven beehive, where it produces honey and wax. However, very few people know that there are over 560 other bee species in Central Europe, the vast majority of which do not live in colonies but as solitary bees. The behavior and lifestyles of these so-called wild bees are as diverse as their appearance, size and habitats. Among the wild bees there are giants with a body length of three centimetres, but also dwarfs that are just three millimetres long. Most wild bees are rather inconspicuously colored.
