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.
