    1. I agree William. It's interesting how I never noticed that orange "bags" until I macro-photographed one. Posted 3 years ago

The western honey bee or European honey bee is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bee worldwide. The genus name "Apis" is Latin for "bee", and "mellifera" is the Latin for "honey-bearing", referring to the species' production of honey.
