Darwin Was Wrong (About Bees)

In his seminal work, On the Origin of Species, Darwin wrote that bumblebees are the only pollinators of red clover. In 1862 he discovered that this is wrong. Honeybees also pollinate red clover well.

He wrote to his friend John Lubbock, “I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees.”
