Flexi Says: Bees can be part of multiple levels of ecological organization. For example, all of the bees that are capable of reproducing with one another to produce fertile offspring are members of the same bee species, such as the Western Honeybee, Apis mellifera. All of the Western honeybees that live in the same area and interact are members of a population. The population is part of a community that includes the flower populations that the bees feed on.
