About Bee-eater
Bee-eaters are a group of near-passerine birds in the family Meropidae. They are characterized by their brightly colored plumage, slender bodies, and relatively long, downward-curved bills. These birds are found in the Old World, primarily in Africa and Asia, though some species also inhabit parts of Europe and Australia. As their name suggests, Bee-eaters primarily feed on insects, particularly bees and wasps, which they catch in flight. They often nest in colonies, digging tunnels in sandy banks or cliffs. Their vibrant colors and aerial acrobatics make them a delight to observe in their natural habitats.
