Ophrys kotschyi, the Cyprus bee orchid, is a terrestrial species of orchid native to Greece and Cyprus.

[1][3] Ophrys kotschyi occurs in grasslands and in open pine woodlands.

It is listed as "near-threatened" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

[4] Three subspecies are recognized (as of May 2014):[1] Some molecular studies have suggested that the Greek populations might be only superficially similar, that they evolved independently from the Cypriot populations, thus perhaps meriting recognition as a distinct species.
