Bees are great!
Honeybee, (tribe Apini), also spelled honey bee, any of a group of insects in the family Apidae (order Hymenoptera) that in a broad sense includes all bees that make honey. In a stricter sense, honeybee applies to any one of seven members of the genus Apis—and usually only the single species, Apis mellifera, the domestic honeybee. This species is also called the European honeybee or the western honeybee. All honeybees are social insects and live together in nests or hives. The honeybee is remarkable for the dancing movements it performs in the hive to communicate information to its fellow bees about the location, distance, size, and quality of a particular food source in the surrounding area. Bees harvest the nectar and convert the sugary liquid to honey, the insects' primary source of carbohydrates. Honey provides the bees with the energy for flight, colony maintenance, and general daily activities. Pollen, often called “bee bread,” is the bees' main source of protein.
