The European bee-eater is a brightly colored bird found in Europe, Asia, and Africa. They are known for their distinctive appearance, with a long, curved beak and vibrant plumage of green, blue, and yellow. As their name suggests, they primarily feed on bees and other flying insects, which they catch in mid-air using their sharp beak. They are social birds, often seen in large flocks during the breeding season. European bee-eaters are migratory, spending the winter in Africa and returning to Europe and Asia to breed in the spring and summer. Despite being widespread, they are considered a species of conservation concern due to habitat loss and pesticide use.
