Centipedes have only one leg per segment. Millipedes, on the other hand, have two per segment. Centipedes prey on pests and insects in the soil including slugs, worms and fly pupae. They prefer moist areas in the garden and compost piles. Honey bees can often be identified by the balls of yellow pollen they carry on the backs of their legs.
Honey bees are an important pollinator of many plants.
They are deep blue-black in color and have no stripes. Mason bees are native to North America. They are active pollinators between cherry blossom and apple blossom season, then die out by summer.
