            Most of the people, yes, but there surely remain some bee-curious individuals.

    FWIW, not one single species, not a single genera, but a single tribe (Euglossini) of bees in the Corbiculata clade of bees. From wikipedia,

    There are about 200 described species, distributed in five genera: Euglossa, Eulaema, Eufriesea, Exaerete and the monotypic Aglae.
