honeybee
A honeybee is a type of flying insect from the family Apidae that is known for its ability to produce and store honey, as well as for its role in pollination. They are characterized by their distinctive gold and black stripes and are typically found in colonies in hives lead by a single queen bee. Honeybees are beneficial to the environment and important for maintaining biodiversity by transferring pollen between flowering plants.
Webster Dictionary
Honeybeenoun
any bee of the genus Apis, which lives in communities and collects honey, esp. the common domesticated hive bee (Apis mellifica), the Italian bee (A. ligustica), and the Arabiab bee (A. fasciata). The two latter are by many entomologists considered only varieties of the common hive bee. Each swarm of bees consists of a large number of workers (barren females), with, ordinarily, one queen or fertile female, but in the swarming season several young queens, and a number of males or drones, are produced
