Anotations

Scope note:

Genus containing several species of bees native to tropical Eurasia and found in Africa. Members of the honey bee genus produce honey and are generalist floral visitors that pollinate a wide variety of plants. The body becomes dusted with pollen during foraging; this pollen is then transferred from plant to plant as the bee continues to visit flowers.
