Apis mellifera Linnaeus
The honey bee is about 12 mm (1/2 inch) long and usually yellow, with 3 or 5 dark brown abdominal bands. They carry two pairs of wings and lack the constricted abdomen (wasp waist) of the wasp and hornet. Honey bees can sting, but are much less aggressive than wasps and hornets.
They mainly live in seasonal areas. They are able to withstand the winter conditions, and thrive through the summer. Honey bees live in hives on branched trees.
I've found it sucking nectar for my Dracaena's flower in front of house. It's a crowded of bee but I just spotted on one of it :)
