Honey Bee Facts

Honey bees (or honeybees) are a division of bees, predominantly distinguished by the making and storing of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests out of wax. Bees that produce honey represent no more than a small fraction of the more or less 20,000 known species of bees. Certain other species of related bees create and warehouse honey, but only members of the group Apis are genuine honey bees. More on Honey Bee Facts – Lifecyle, Beekeeping and More
