Nomenclature Bees appear in recent classifications to be a specialized lineage of Crabronidae crabronid wasps that switched to the use of pollen and nectar as larva l food, rather than insect prey this presumably makes Crabronidae a paraphyletic group. Accordingly, bees and sphecoids are now all grouped together in a single superfamily, and the older available name is Apoidea rather than Sphecoidea which, like Spheciformes , has been used in the past, but also defined a paraphyletic group and has been abandoned .
