yes, but--specialization is for insects. bee's aren't found everywhere. they can't live --as humans do, north of the artic circle, and many bee's can't live in the tropics either (it get to hot) and bee's are wonderful for making honey. but that, and wax is all they make. they will never make an airplane.
