Honey Bees

Honey bees are social insects known for their crucial role in pollination and honey production. They live in colonies with a queen, drones, and worker bees, and construct intricate wax honeycombs to store honey and raise brood. Honey bees are typically kept by beekeepers for their honey and other hive products. They are not typically aggressive and will only sting in defense of their hive or when provoked. Honey bee stings are similar to other bee stings and can cause localized pain, swelling, and redness.
