    It's a hard days work but worth the effort. As is your photo! Warm, mostly yellow but captivating nonetheless. Nice detail of the nectar on its back. Posted 13 years ago

The Western honey bee

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.
