About Apis mellifera
The Honey Bee Apis mellifera is a model species for social behaviour, and is essential to global ecology as a pollinator. One of the most important topics for Honey Bee researchers is the evolution of its social behaviour - indeed, it is one of the few species to have such an advanced society.
