The '''Honeybee''' (ミツバチ, ''Mitsubachi'') is a small insect that can be found buzzing around flowers, sometimes settling on them. They are very common, but should not be confused with the [[Bee]], a closely-related species that is found in trees. An important difference from the Bee is that they do not sting the [[player]].
+
The '''honeybee''' is a [[bug]] in the {{SER}}. It first appeared in {{WW}} and has appeared in all subsequent games. It can be found flying near flowers. In {{NH}}, it can be caught from [[spring]] to the start of [[summer]].

''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.

Real-world information[edit]

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.
