What is the botanical name of honey?

Kingdom: Metazoa (= animalia -- multicellular animals) Phylum: Arthropoda (arthropods) Class: Insecta (true insects) Order: Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps) Family: Apidae (honey bees and bumble bees) Genus: Apis Species: Apis Mellifera Common name: Honeybee


Are honeybees the same as bees?

No. Some bumble bees are solitary but even the largest social bumble bee colonies are quite small with up to a couple of hundred members -- compared to a honey bee colony at 20,000 to 60,000 members. Also, bumble bees only store enough honey for their immediate needs because over the winter the new queens hibernate and the rest of the colony dies. With honey bees they have to build up a large stock of honey for food when they can't forage in the winter because they do not hibernate and a large part of the colony will survive through the winter.


Are honey bees fuzzy?

no, but bumble bees are and they don't sting unless you step on them and are as big as an American quarter dollar. honey bees are small maybe a centimeter long with orangeish yellow and black stripes, and do not sting unless stepped or wounded.


What is the binomial nomenclature for a honey bee?

Is a bee a living thing why?

A bee (there are several kinds - honey, bumble, etc) are colony living, flying insects. There are also "solitary bees" that don't live in colonies. Bees are efficient pollinators, as well as producing honey, and their apparent demise (at the moment) is a worry for most people, especially apple growers. Many people who depend on the bees.
