The honeybee is a small, flying insect known for its role in pollination and honey production. It belongs to the family Apidae and is recognized for its distinctive yellow and black striped body. Honeybees live in organized colonies, which can consist of thousands of individuals, including a queen, workers, and drones. Honeybees play a crucial role in the ecosystem by pollinating many plants, including crops that humans rely on for food. They collect nectar from flowers, which they convert into honey, a sweet substance stored in their hives. This process not only benefits the bees but also supports biodiversity and agriculture.
