Do bees and butterflies compete Why or why not?

Bees and butterflies do not typically compete directly for resources, as they have different feeding behaviors and preferences. Bees primarily collect nectar and pollen from flowers to feed their colonies, while butterflies feed mainly on nectar. However, they may share the same floral resources, which can lead to indirect competition for nectar. Overall, their distinct roles in pollination and differing habits often allow them to coexist without significant competition.
