Rietvlei Nature Reserve 2017: Photo Highlights
Bee-eaters are identified by their bright colours. They catch their prey in mid-air at up to 48 km/h. Bee-eaters are insectivores, feeding on insects. Males and females look similar. Most of the Bee-eater species are monogamous, meaning they mate for life unless one dies, in which case they will select another mate. Bee-eaters assist each other during breeding, and co-caring for the nestlings. They recognize each other, from parents to siblings and even nesting neighbours.
