They are distinguished by the production and the storage of honey and construction of perennial‚ colonial hives out of wax.

Abstract American agriculture is addicted to honeybees and in the past few years we have begun to run short of them. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)‚ a significant disappearance of honey bee colonies that may be affecting bees in more than 22 states‚ threatens the production of crops dependent on bees for pollination as well as honey production. Of the 2.4 million colonies of bees in the United States‚ this need is projected to increase significantly over the next few years. This paper outlines the extensive
