Systematic melittology: where to from here?

In this article the author discusses the systematic melittology of Hymenoptera. He is critical to the contributions that it may have to students and the morphological investigations that could be done in relation to he phylogenetics of the bees. Also presented are the different studies about bees which include that of F. Gusenleitner and M. Schwarz on the guides to the analysis of bees and the data presented in the study of Cardinal and Packer on the relationships among four species of bees.
