 HONEY BEES

General Info: Honey bees are the most social of the group, often characterized by their hairy appearance. A swarm may form due to an over-populated hive and may be seen clustering on branches, or building nest in hollow trees. They should not be disturbed. In most cases, they will move on in a day or two.

They are essential for pollination.
