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.

Why are honey bees eaiest to take care of?
I am not sure easiest is necessarily the best word, but the reason we keep honey bees rather than any other variety of bee is for the honey. Although other bees, such as bumble bees, do make honey it is only in small amounts because they don't need to save stores for the winter (the queens hibernate, the others die). Honey bees on the other hand don't hibernate so need to build up a stock of food during the summer to take them through the winter when nectar is not available. Beekeepers take most -- but not all -- of this honey then feed the bees during the winter with sugar syrup.
