Apis mellifera

The western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7-12 species of honey bee worldwide.

 

The genus name Apis is Latin for “bee”, and mellifera means “honey-bearing”, referring to the species’ tendency to produce a large quantity of honey for storage over the winter.
