Honey bees, although one of the most popular bees, represent only a small percent of bee species. Honey bees are the only surviving group of bees from the Apini tribe, which is under the Apis genus. They are known for producing and storing honey, or liquefied sugar, as well as building...
1.Any of numerous winged, hairy-bodied, usually stinging hymenopteran insects of the superfamily Apoidea, including both solitary species and social species such as the honeybees, and characterized by sucking and chewing mouthparts for gathering nectar and pollen. ...
Honey bees are long-term models for behavioral studies. This is particularly true for the Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L) but the honey bee genus contains several other species that are behaviorally quite interesting and differ in some fundamental aspects from the A. mellifera model (Oldroyd...
Honey Bee: Management The relationship between humans and honey bees (genusApis) spans centuries (Crane1983). Honey bees consist of between 10 and 12 extant species predominantly located in Asia (Ruttner1988). Fossil evidence suggests that honey bees originated during the Oligocene, between 30 and ...
