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" or "honey carrying", referring to the species' production of honey..Like all honey bee species, the western honey bee is eusocial, creating colonies with a single fertile female (or "queen"), many normally non-reproductive females or "workers", and a small proportion of fertile males or "drones". Individual colonies can house tens of thousands of bees. Colony activities are organized by complex communication between individuals, through both pheromones and the dance language.

Apis mellifera, European honey bee

Past the old station of Ratho, the Glasgow-Edinburgh railway line crosses the Almond Water at a height of 70 feet. Opened in 1842 for the Edinburgh & Glasgow railway, there are 36 of "The Arches", making it the longest viaduct in Scotland. Its arches and piers were originally hollow but in the 1950's they were filled in with concrete to allow for higher train speeds.

Apis mellifera ligustica dite abeille italienne ou abeille jaune est une sous-espèce d'abeilles élevée pour son miel.

Apparue au sud des Alpes italiennes, en Ligurie qui lui a donné son nom, elle est, avec la Buckfast, la plus répandue des abeilles. Elle est répartie dans l'ensemble de l'Italie. Les qualités de cette abeille en ont fait la plus exportée au monde, notamment sur les continents américain et australien.

Elle est également abondamment présente en Nouvelle-Calédonie, où elle est photographiée ici sur inflorescence du palmier Dypsis decaryi dans mon jardin.

This bee was found dead in a swimming pool. I dehydrated it and cleaned the specimen, which went very well since bees are very tough, and can be cleaned thoroughly.

Stack was done with zerene and bugslaber: 165 shots.
