This box: view • talk • edit | Apiology (from Greek: api, "bee"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is the scientific study of honey bees, a subdiscipline of Melittology, which is itself a branch of entomology. Honey bees are often chosen as a study group to answer questions on the evolution of social systems. All honey bees are highly eusocial. The honeybee is a colonial insect that is often maintained, fed, and transported by farmers. ...
