Green Bee-eaters are found in Africa, the Middle East, and South and Southeast Asia. They specialize in catching bees, wasps, dragonflies, and other flying insects in midair. They can avoid getting stung by disabling their prey by beating the insect on a branch. They nest in tunnels in sandy banks or flat ground.
