Bee-mimicry with the UNL Bee Lab

Bees are so remarkable that many other insects have evolved to mimic them!

From drone flies that have evolved to resemble bees, to beetles that ‘whisper’ their way into hives, discover how mimicry shapes survival in the natural world.

Through various games and experiments, we’ll investigate why bees are worth imitating and how their true brilliance shines through the deception.

With the help of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Bee Lab, we’ll uncover the hidden stories of cooperation, competition, and clever adaptations that make bees the gold standard of the insect world.
