The European honey bee is classified as Apis mellifera. It's native to Europe. But it was successfully transported, and naturalized, to the United States of America by European colonists. It's an example of an exotic, or non-native, species that came to be appreciated, instead of dreaded and scorned, by the inhabitants of the new land.

Which spices of honey bees give the best products?
Research has shown that the highest production figures come from a bee that is a cross between the European honey bee (apis mellifera mellifera) and the African honey bee (apis mellifera scutella). However that cross produces what has become known as the 'killer' bee, because they are less docile and more likely to sting. On balance, this disadvantage outweighs any production advantage so beekeepers tend to use the pure European honey bee.
