What is a "honeybee"?

A honeybee is a specific species of bee known for its role in honey production and pollination. It has a distinct yellow and black striped appearance and is characterized by its social behavior, living in colonies that consist of a queen bee, worker bees, and drones. Honeybees are highly organized and efficient pollinators, transferring pollen from one flower to another, aiding in the reproduction of various plants. They are also remarkable honey producers, collecting nectar from flowers and converting it into honey, which is stored in honeycombs. Honeybees are vital for both natural ecosystems and agriculture, playing a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and contributing to the pollination of numerous crops.
