As the Africanized honeybee migrates further north, colonies continue to interbreed with European honeybees. These nests are small compared to honeybee hives, which hold about 50,000 bees. Ustica is home of the honeybee "Apis mellifera sicula". The flowers are pollinated by insects such as the bumblebee and honeybee. Where honeybee populations decline, there is also a decline in plant populations. "G. mellonella" larvae parasitize the honeybee. Sacbrood viruses (SBV) primarily affect the brood of the honeybee and causes larval death. The stinger of the Asian giant hornet is about longer than that of a honeybee. Numeracy has been described in the yellow mealworm beetle ("Tenebrio molitor") and the honeybee. The minimum temperature for active honeybee foraging is approximately . Its nectar is toxic to the honeybee. The giant honeybee is a particularly commonly eaten species. Another invertebrate introduced to Puerto Rico is the honeybee. The drone flights are comparatively shorter than those of other Asian honeybee species. As of 2017, the cost of a queen honeybee ranges from $25 to $32.
