	datadubai.com: Birds: The Bee Eater
		Bee eaters are insectivorous, eating mainly flying insects.
		Carmine bee eaters are strongly attracted to bush fires preying upon fleeing insects.
		All species can eat dangerous insects such as bees, wasps and hornets, which are rendered harmless before being eaten: the tail (and sting) of the insect is rubbed against the perch to expresses the venom and often the sting itself.

	Blue-tailed Bee-eater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is predominantly green; its face has a narrow blue patch with a fl eye stripe, and a yellow and brown throat; the tail is blue and the beak is fl.
		Like other bee-eaters it predominantly eats insects, especially bees, wasps and hornets, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch.This species probably takes bees and dragonflies in roughly equal numbers.
		The insect that are caught are beaten on the perch to kill and break the exoskeleton.

	Bee-eater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All are colorful and have long downturned bills and pointed wings, which give them a swallow-like appearance when seen from afar.
		While they will pursue any type of flying insect, honeybees predominate in their diet.
		(1992) say that "in 20 separate studies of the diet of 16 kinds of bee-eaters, Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps) comprised from 20% to 96% of all insects eaten, and honeybees formed on average about one-third of the Hymenoptera." Catching an insect mid-air is referred to as sallying.

		Elongated central tail feathers of adult are longer, and has longer, finer fl bill, giving it a longer, more streamlined look than European.
		They can eat dangerous insects such as bees, wasps and hornets which are rendered harmless before being eaten: the tail (and sting) of the insects is rubbed against the perch to express the venom and often the sting itself.

		The BLUE-CHEEKED BEE EATER was seen briefly at Helendale in the morning but could not be relocated later in the day.
		It initally caused some anxiety as it was thought that this may have been the Blue-cheeked Bee Eater, and the visiting birdwatchers were all set to invade Noss, but it turned out not to be the case.
		The BLUE-CHEEKED BEE EATER is still in the garden immediately adjacent to the Loch of Asta, Tingwall and the female BLACK-HEADED BUNTING has reappeared at Finnie, Fetlar.

	Merops persicus
		At rest it is easily identified by its almost entirely green body, completely lacking the reds and yellows on the upperparts of a European Bee-eater.
		The only hint of blue is on the forehead and cheeks, and the orange and yellow is restricted to small throat patch.
		In flight, the uniform green upperparts make them obviously different from European Bee-eaters but from below they are not so easy to identify.

		Our travels conclude at Agadir, beside the blue Atlantic shore, where the bird-rich rivers of the Sous and Massa offer a remarkable contrast.
		Waders, wildfowl and other wetland species are abundant and we have chances of Barbary Partridge, Audouin’s Gull, Red-necked Nightjar and Black-crowned Tchagra as we go in search one of the world’s rarest and weirdest-looking birds - the critically endangered Bald Ibis.
