What is another word for bee orchid?
Pronunciation: [bˈiː ˈɔːkɪd] (IPA) 
The Bee Orchid is a charmingly curious and intricate type of orchid native to Europe. Its unique and notable characteristic is its striking resemblance to a female bee, complete with antennae and a furry body. Despite its resemblance to bees, the orchid is not harmful and merely uses its appearance to attract male bees toward its reproductive structures. Bee Orchid has several synonyms like Ophrys apifera, the Drone Orchid, or the Fly Orchid. The name Ophrys comes from the Greek word "ophrys," meaning eyebrow, which refers to the hairy structure within the orchid's flower. The Drone Orchid name refers to the male bee, while the Fly Orchid's name is due to its attraction to flies.
