Description of Coloring Page: A honey bee (or honeybee), in contrast with the stingless honey bee, is any bee member of the genus
Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax. Honey bees are the only extant members of the tribe Apini, all in the genus
Apis. Currently, only seven species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 44 subspecies,
though historically, from six to eleven species have been recognized.
Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees. Some other types of related bees produce and store honey, but only members of the genus
Apis are true honey bees. The study of bees including honey bees is known as melittology.
