A family of solitary bees that includes digger bees and flower bees, known for their effectiveness as pollinators.
Derived from the genus Anthophora with the taxonomic family suffix -idae, indicating a formal zoological family.
Anthophoridae bees are underappreciated pollinators — while honeybees get all the attention, these solitary bees are often more efficient at pollinating specific plants because they visit more flower species.
