Honey bee

A honey bee (or honeybee), in contrast with the stingless honey bee, is any bee that is a 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 honey bees is known as melittology.

Origin, systematics and distribution

Honey bees appear to have their center of origin in South and Southeast Asia (including the Philippines), as all the extant species except Apis mellifera are native to that region. Notably, living representatives of the earliest lineages to diverge (Apis florea and Apis andreniformis) have their center of origin there.

    Honey Bee (Blake Shelton song)

    "Honey Bee" is a song written by Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip, and recorded by American country music artist Blake Shelton. It was released in April 2011 as the first single from his sixth studio album Red River Blue. On November 30, the song received a Nomination in 54th Grammy Awards for Best Country Solo Performance, but lost to Taylor Swift's "Mean".

    History

    Blake Shelton debuted "Honey Bee" at the Academy of Country Music awards telecast on April 3, 2011, where he also sang "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking". "Honey Bee" was released to digital retailers immediately after the broadcast.

    Content

    Rhett Akins and Ben Hayslip, two-thirds of the "Peach Pickers" writing ensemble, wrote the song. Akins said that he first thought of writing a song called "Huckleberry" after seeing an article in Billboard magazine about former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. He then changed the word to "honeysuckle", and came up with the line "You be my honeysuckle / I'll be your honey bee." Akins said that he thought that "it was a different way for the guy to say, 'we should date, I love you.'"

    Honey Bee

    by: Jane Siberry

    everyone has their own story
    you have yours I have mine
    today mine happens to be about a...
    a yellow dress
    and behind the yellow dress
    lies a warm and beating heart
    that longs to tell a story
    of which we are all a part
    oh oh oh I love these things
    so these things shall I bee
    the honey bee
    it has taken me so long to get up to speed
    a looooonnnggggg winter
    but the sun is slowly warming me
    and ssssooo here I go towards the garden of love
    oh oh oh I love these things
    so these things shall I bee
    the garden of love I can see it now
    I am meandering as fast as I can
    want to sip the nectar
    I am making my way back to where I belong
    oh oh oh I love these things
    so these things shall I bee
    and when I lay me down to sleep
    in my flowery keep
    the moon upon my face
    I dream of bowls of milk
    sailin' towards a sea of
    roses
