Honey Bee (genus Apis): There are only 7 recognised species of honey bee on the planet although they do break down into 44 subspecies. The main distinction from the 20,000 other species of bees is the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax. Research has shown a single honey bee can visit 1500 flowers in a day so this infographic is not entirely factual but still Awesome just to take in what many bees achieve in a short lifetime. 🐝🍯
