Honey bees, unlike a lot of other insects, don't hibernate but remain active through the winter.

For this reason they collect as much nectar as they can when it is available and turn the surplus into honey. This is their food for the winter. Man discovered honey many thousands of years ago and until the discovery of how to extract sugar from sugar cane and sugar beet it was the only sweetener available.

Why are African honey bees called African honey bees?
That they are native to the African continent is the reason why African honey bees are so called.Specifically, the African honey bee (Apis mellifera scutellata) can be found natively in central and much of southern Africa.

In turn, it offers competition to introduced European honey bees (Apis mellifera), which are less aggressive all the while producing far more honey.
