Description:

A bee smaller in size than the bumblebee that collects pollen from most plants to produe nectar which is then turned into honey to feed the colony. Honey bees are a subset of bees in the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests out of wax.

Habitat:

Species of Apis are generalist floral visitors, and will pollinate a large variety of plants, but by no means all plants
