    One remark: I know you prefer to share low res photos, but for the contest a minimum of 1024 pixels applies. Just wanted to let you know that upfront, to avoid dissapointment.

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.
