"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony."
-- William Henry Channing (1810-1884)
Honey bees from the hive developing in the walls of my apartment.
This is a worker bee. They are non-reproductive females.

Royal cell of Apis mellifera (Hym. Apidae) in bee hive, 20.IV.2007, Watermael-Boitsfort (B). The cell was opened early in its construction to show the larva of a future queen. Thanks to Marc Wollast for introducing me to his beloved bees!
The European honey bee or Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a species of honey bee. The genus Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera comes from the Latin meli- "honey" and ferre "to bear" — hence the scientific name means "honey-bearing bee". The name was coined in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus who, realizing that the bees do not bear honey, but nectar, tried later to correct it to Apis mellifica ("honey-making bee") in a subsequent publication. However, according to the rules of synonymy in zoological nomenclature, the older name has precedence. Some people who are unaware of this still use the incorrect subsequent spelling. As of October 28, 2006, the Honey Bee Genome Sequencing Consortium fully sequenced and analyzed the genome of Apis mellifera.
A abelha-européia (Apis mellifera) é uma abelha social, de origem européia, cujas operárias medem de 12 mm a 13 mm de comprimento e apresentam pêlos do tórax mais escuros.
Introduzida no Brasil em 1839, para suprir apiários na produção de mel e cera. Também é chamada de abelha-alemã, abelha-comum, abelha-da-europa, abelha-de-mel, abelha-doméstica, abelha-do-reino, abelha-escura, abelha-europa, abelha-preta e oropa.
Mel, pólen, própolis e um exemplo de organização social é o que as abelhas generosamente oferecem ao homem.
A abelha comum ocidental, a Apis mellifera, é originária da Ásia e da Europa e foi introduzida na América por ingleses e espanhóis. Vive em colónias permanentes, formadas por uma rainha (no máximo duas, excepcionalmente), abelhas operárias (entre 10 mil e 15 mil), e entre 500 e 1.500 zangões, ou machos. As fêmeas diferenciam-se dos zangões(machos)pois estas possuem ferrão.
As abelhas vivem em colmeias, que podem ser artificiais ou naturais. Em seu interior, as operárias usam cera para construir os favos (formados por células em forma de prisma hexagonal), onde armazenam mel e pólen para alimentar tanto as larvas como os insectos adultos.
A rainha ocupa-se exclusivamente em colocar ovos: cerca de 3 mil por dia. Quando uma colmeia necessita de uma fêmea fecunda, as obreiras constroem um alvéolo maior e nele são depositados todos os ovos fecundados. As larvas desses ovos recebem uma alimentação especial e convertem-se em rainhas. Como em cada comunidade só pode viver uma rainha, gera-se uma "disputa pelo poder" sendo as vencidas expulsas da colmeia.
Os zangões são os elementos improdutivos da colónia e a sua única função é fecundar a rainha.
Normalmente, todos os anos cada colónia libera um ou mais enxames sempre contendo uma rainha que se instala noutro lugar, com abundância de flores, fundando uma nova colónia. É assim que a espécie se propaga.

Western honey bee
Two of our neighbors keep bees; just across the street and next door to the south. The hot weather seems to have increased their water needs dramatically, something that would seem obvious but which I hadn't even considered. They have water near the hives but since the last few days have been in the '100's' they discovered our bird bath. We welcome them as we do most all creatures (excepting rattlers, black widow spiders and scorpions [and possibly roaches]).
The western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bee worldwide. The genus name Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera means "honey-bearing", referring to the species' tendency to produce a large quantity of honey for storage over the winter.
Like all honey bees, the western honey bee is eusocial, creating colonies with a single fertile female (or "queen"), many sterile females or "workers," and 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 odors and the dance language.
The western honey bee was one of the first domesticated insects, and it is the primary species maintained by beekeepers to this day for both its honey production and pollination activities. With human assistance, the western honey bee now occupies every continent except Antarctica. Because of its wide cultivation, this species is the single most important pollinator for agriculture globally. A number of pests and diseases threaten the honey bee, especially colony collapse disorder.
Western honey bees are an important model organism in scientific studies, particularly in the fields of social evolution, learning, and memory; they are also used in studies of pesticide toxicity, to assess non-target impacts of commercial pesticides.
