No, different spelling. Latin for bee is apis, the road is Via Appia.
The Appian Way was built in 312 BC by the Roman censor Appius Claudius Caecus.

Nobody knows why bees are the color they are, it's just the way it is. But good question, though!
Africanized honey bees started in Brazil and have gradually worked their way north to as far as Texas.
You can tell that bees may have become africanized by how "hot" a hive is, meaning that the bees becomes very violent with a lot of bees trying to sting you and chasing after you long distances, but this does not necessarily mean that they have become africanized. The only way to truly confirm that they are africanized is that you send some dead bees to a lab to have its wings measured as africanized bees have smaller wings than other types of bees.
Yes, bumble bees excrete waste in the form of uric acid, which is released from their bodies. This acts as a way for them to eliminate excess water and nitrogen waste.

No, honey bees are not the only bees that make honey. The bees in question (Apis spp) just happen to be the most famous of the world's natural honey-makers. Other apian examples include bumble and stingless bees.
Philipp Apian was born in 1531.
Philipp Apian died in 1589.
Yes, bees pollinate forsythia even though apian pollination tends to be rare in this regard. The flowering plant in question serves as a welcome indication of warm weather around the corner since forsythia blooms in very late winter and in very early spring. It will be pollinated by such wildlife as insects, of which blue orchard mason bees (Osmia lignaria) will be far more common than any other kind of native or naturalized apian species.
Apian-Gymnasium Ingolstadt was created in 1971.
Pumpkins are pollinated either by hand or by insects. Bumblebees, honeybees and squash bees represent the main apian pollinators in the United States of America. Bumblebees and squash bees seem to be particularly adept at timing nectaring and pollinating forages with the dawn to pre-noon opening of pumpkin flowers.

Yes, bees like yeast.Specifically, yeast contains proteins. The insect in question (Apis spp) faces limited pollen sources during super-cold weather. Beekeepers may feed their insects Brewer's yeast in order to keep apian strength up and preserve the hive's honey supplies.
There is no way to know if bees mourn the death of other bees. It is possible that they do mourn other bees.
Apian
A few weeks to a few years is the length of time that bees live. The answer may be different according to the species in question and to the apian function and gender since queens live longer than male drones and female workers. In terms of species, bumble, carpenter, digger and mason bees tend to sustain year-long lifespans, in contrast to the two- to five-year life expectancies of honeybee queens.
