Eli5: Why do Bees rarely fly into the house? Unlike flies or wasps?

631 viewsOther

I always find flies flying around the house. Occasionally wasps. But I have never had a Honey bee or bumble bee enter the house.

Wasps and Flies are more scavengers, so they will go into dark/enclosed spaces seeking out a source for their food or to lay their eggs.

Bees on the other hand have a specific diet of sugars which comes from Flowers.

Flowers don’t grow in dark places in nature, so they have most likely evolved to not enter houses/doorways/windows to get into people houses.
