      1. Thank you Niel! It was easy since the Bee kind of got used to me being near the flower after two days. Posted 3 months 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.
