The Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) is a highly social bee commonly found in gardens, meadows, orchards, and agricultural landscapes throughout much of the world.
Recognizable by its golden-brown and black striped body, it is often seen visiting flowers in search of nectar and pollen. Honey Bees live in large colonies composed of a queen, workers, and drones, working together to build wax combs and produce honey.
As one of the most important pollinators, they play a vital role in supporting wild plants, crops, and healthy ecosystems.
