Fig. 2

Contigs N50 and L50 values of all bee genomes available at NCBI in January 2024 (120 genomes in total). Values are shown in the log base. Stingless bee genomes (11 genomes) are indicated by orange triangles, the honeybee and the bumblebee genomes are represented by a black and a blue-filled circle, respectively, while all other bee species are represented by grey circles. Only one genome assembly is shown per species, when more than one assembly was available per species the one with the largest scaffold L50 was used. Cumulative frequencies are shown in the steel blue bars
