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 a également été introduite en Nouvelle-Calédonie.
L'Abeille européenne, Apis mellifera, est une abeille à miel originaire d'Europe. Elle est considérée comme semi-domestique. C'est une des abeilles élevées à grande échelle en apiculture pour produire du miel et pour la pollinisation.

Quando si pensa all’impollinazione, il pensiero va in primo luogo alle api; ma contano, contano eccome, anche le oltre 16.000 le specie di api selvatiche per garantire il ciclo della vita nel mondo. Angurie, colza, ciliegie, mandorle, mele, more, mirtilli rossi e neri, pere, prugne, zucchine, girasole, erba medica, pomodori, sono solo alcuni dei prodotti agricoli la cui produzione è possibile grazie all’impollinazione degli insetti. È infatti motivata la grande preoccupazione che circonda il costante declino degli insetti impollinatori nel mondo, a ritmi particolarmente gravi negli ultimi anni.
Ogni ape porta in sé il meccanismo dell’universo: ognuna riassume il segreto del mondo.
(Michel Onfray)
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.
