Honey Bee Bookmark

Humans have been collecting honey from western honey bees for thousands of years, with depictions in rock art found in France and Spain dating to around 7,000 BCE. As the first known domesticated insect, they were introduced to North America in the early 1600s and can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Unlike most other bee species, western honey bees have perennial colonies which persist year after year. In most climates, colonies swarm in spring and early summer to collect pollen and nectar from the abundance of blooming flowers. In response to these favorable conditions, the hive creates one to two dozen new queens.
