==Donating to the museum==
As with all insects in the {{SER}}, the honeybee can be donated to the [[museum]] followed by a small talk by [[Blathers]], the curator.

===In {{WW|short|nolink}}===
The curator of the [[museum]], [[Blathers]], will accept the honeybee as a donation to the insect exhibit. He will talk about the honeybee briefly before accepting it:
{{Blathers|WW|The stinger of a honeybee is actually connected to its internal organs, eh wot? When it {{wp|Honey bee#Defense|uses its stinger}}... the organs get pulled out. What an abhorrent image! I'm terribly sorry, but nature is not always family friendly!}}

The honeybee can be found at the middle-left side of the first room of the [[bug]]s section, on the flowers.

===In {{CF|short|nolink}}===
Blathers will talk about the honeybee with disgust again in {{CF|short|nolink}}-
{{Blathers|CF|Honeybees are rather famous among bees for the impressive teamwork they exhibit, eh wot? I've even heard they will swarm over enemies many times their size in an attempt to suffocate them. I must admit, it makes them seem rather like a bunch of brave warriors... Even so, when I imagine a massive swarm of bees, a different phrase comes to mind... "BLEEECCCH!}}

It can be found in the lower-left section of the exhibit, buzzing among the roses.

===In {{NL|short|nolink}}===
Upon being donated, the honeybee can be found in the first room of the bug exhibit flying around and resting on the bushes near the back of the room. The exhibit has this to say about the honeybee:
{{Blathers|NL|Honeybees gather nectar from flowers and make honey, making them integral in many ecosystems. The worker bees are females and the only ones capable of stinging, though that is rather rare. The hive does contain males, but after mating season, they are all sent away. Honey has been consumed since ancient times. Cave paintings 8,000 years old show people eating honey.}}

===In {{NH|short|nolink}}===
{{Blathers|CNH|Did you know it takes a team of honeybees working together to transform flower nectar into honey? Indeed, forager bees suck nectar from flowers into their "honey stomachs" and then fly it to the hive. Hive bees then chew the substance and spit it into the honeycomb, fluttering their wings to dry it out. Yes, you could say honey is a tasty tribute to the hard work of the humble honeybee. Oh! Oh my! You mustn't confuse my lengthy description for admiration! At the end of the day, honeybees are still insects, and thus still ghastly! A wee bit ghastly than most, I admit.}}

Once donated to the museum, the honeybee can be found on the tropical flower bed near the [[man-faced stink bug]] and the [[mantis]].

==Real-world information==
[[File:Honeybee.jpg|left|200px|thumb|A European honeybee settling on a flower.]]
''Apis mellifera'', the European honeybee, is a species of honeybee which that is used frequently around the world to produce honey; contrary to its name, the species originated from Africa rather than Europe. There are many subspecies of this bee due to human intervention. Like the in-game [[wasp]] and most species of bee, the European honeybee is capable of delivering a venomous sting, though this does not occur in-game. Unlike these other species, the European honeybee's stinger is barbed, causing the bee to fatally disembowel itself when the stinger is caught in the target's skin, leaving behind a sac that continues to envenomate the target until the stinger is removed. Despite being omnivorous, the European honeybee preys on microbes rather than other insects; consequently, stinging is used exclusively to protect against perceived threats.

The European honeybee has been subject to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), an unexplained phenomenon in which all worker bees leave their colony and die, leaving the hive without any means of supporting itself.
