Western Hemisphere honey bees are not native, or at least not aboriginal. They originated in Europe and were imported here in the colonial era.

You are correct, native is the wrong term, domestic is more appropriate.

Feral African bees are displacing domesticated honeybees.

So true. My bees speak only Italian.

In the biz, we called them “Italian bees”. Seriously.

Not as seriously: when they flapped their wings, they went buzza, buzza, buzza.
