  4. Oops Hellen, I ID'ed it wrongly, it should have been a 'Apis mellifera' instead of the Bombus Impatients. I too was too impatient it seems:) Could you correct it, as I cannot removie species ID on a photo that is not mine?

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.
