- Although it is not clear how the belief that bees could originate from animal carcasses
arose, it is assumed that beekeepers might have confused hoverflies (Eristalis tenax)
with honeybees. Hoverflies’ larvae, like those of all flies, feed on carcasses, but the
adults look strikingly similar to bees and feed on nectar and pollen. - Y.-N. Chen, L.-Y. Chai, and Y.-D. Shu 2008, “Study of Arsenic Adsorption on Bone
