Abstract The increasing availability of large phylogenies has provided new opportunities to study the evolution species traits, their origins and diversification, biogeography; yet, with exception butterflies, taxonomically well-curated are currently lacking for major insect groups. Bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) a group pollinators that have worldwide distribution, wide variation in ecology, morphology, life-history including sociality. For these reasons, as well economic importance pollinators, numerous molecular phylogenetic studies relationships between and/or within families or genera this been published. We used publicly available sequence data, family-level phylogenomic backbone, ultra-conserved element (UCE) reconciled taxonomic database, produce dated phylogeny bees. comprises 4651 bee species, representing 23% 86% genera. At family, subfamily, tribe levels, data were robust, but some remain uncertain. In addition, most geographically distributed North America Europe, highlighting gaps should be considered future research improve our understanding phylogeography. provide summary current state its gaps, discuss advantages limitations supermatrix (available online at beetreeoflife.org ), which may enable insights into long standing questions about evolutionary drivers bees, potentially insects. Highlights Bee constructed public published data. Includes recognised covers Provides remaining phylogenetics. Available beetreeoflife.org, subsetting tool facilitate comparative analyses.
