Definition
- 1(Apis spp.) Insecto himenóptero volador, de color pardo oscuro, y que según las especies puede vivir en solitario o formando grandes colonias. Poseen un aguijón capaz de producir una picadura muy dolorosa. Se alimentan del polen y del néctar de las flores, contribuyendo eficazmente a su polinización. Las especies sociales pueden llegar a producir grandes cantidades de miel, polen y cera, por lo que han sido utilizadas por el hombre para su beneficio desde tiempos muy remotos.
