Definition of Honeibee
Hon"ey*bee` (?), n. (Zoöl.)
Any bee of the genus Apis, which lives in communities and
collects honey, esp. the common domesticated hive bee (Apis
mellifica), the Italian bee (A. ligustica), and the
Arabiab bee (A. fasciata). The two latter are by many
entomologists considered only varieties of the common hive bee. Each
swarm of bees consists of a large number of workers (barren females),
with, ordinarily, one queen or fertile female, but in the swarming
season several young queens, and a number of males or drones, are
produced.
