Least Concern

The Red-bearded Bee-eater is a slim, colorful aerial hunter that catches bees, wasps, dragonflies, and other flying insects over Sundaland and mainland Southeast Asian forest edges. It often perches in the open, beats larger prey against a branch, and nests in tunnels dug into banks, cliffs, or sandy ground.
