My family and I visited a friend while we were in Sri Lanka, and it turned out that they had these hanging mason pots on a tree that bees regularly took shelter in! While these look very much like the Apis mellifera I am much more familiar with, since I was in Sri Lanka I was quite excited by the idea that these guys may actually be a different Apis species! In light of that, I believe this species to be A. cerana, AKA: the Indian Honey Bee!

Burung yang ini saya shoot di Bukit Fraser. Sudah lama mencari akhirnya ketemu juga. Pagi itu di Bukit Fraser, saya berbual dengan tukang kebun hotel. Dia memberitahu tentang ada burung bersarang di satu pokok. Memang benar, ada Tekukur Api sedang mengeram telur di pokok tersebut. Namun mengganggu burung bersarang menyalahi etika birders. Kebetulan Tekukur Api itu terbang keluar dari sarang dan hinggap di pokok berhampiran. Peluang ini tidak saya lepaskan dengan beberapa shots bertubi tubi sebelum dia terbang pergi. Maka tips untuk anda, selain guide yang anda upah untuk membawa anda memburung, berkawan jugalah dengan tukang kebun hotel untuk maklumat sebegini.

The western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bees worldwide. The genus name Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera is the Latin for "honey-bearing", referring to the species' production of honey.
Caught this little gal while I waited on my daughter during her soccer practice. Hard to get them to cooperate. Always too busy to pose. ALMOST nailed the focus, but just a smidge out. PS Express and Digiscoped with Swarovski STX95, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and Phone Skope.
Honey Bees are one of the most recognisable insects and are the most commonly domesticated bee species in the world. They are somewhat variable in colour but are usually brown with a banded dull yellow and brown abdomen. The head, thorax and abdomen are densely covered in hair. The legs and around the eyes are also hairy. These highly social insects live in large hives dominated by a single queen. The queen is larger than workers or the male drones, and is responsible for egg laying and for controlling the hive using pheromones. The majority of the hive is made up of worker bees that build and maintain the hive, and collect nectar and pollen to feed the developing bee larvae.
