Western Honey Bee

The western honey bee lives where flowers are abundant, in agricultural fields and areas with flowering vegetation.

The western honey bee is native to Europe, western Asia and Africa; humans have carried it to other continents since the 17th century, so that it is now found throughout the world, including East Asia, Australia and North and South America. Its local Yemeni subspecies has been recorded in Chad, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Oman, Yemen and Saudi Arabia.
