The cells are multifunctional, being used repeatedly for rearing the larvae and for the storage of honey and pollen.
Two dozen geographic races of the Western Honeybee, Apis mellifera, have been recognised, adapted to a range of environments from the cold Continental climate of Eastern Europe, through the moist temperate climate of the Atlantic seaboard, the warmth of the Mediterranean, and the heat of the tropics and semi-deserts.
The Caucasian bee is noteworthy for the length of its proboscis, being the longest of all the mellifera races.

 Apis - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Apis
Apis was a fertility god, associated also with Osiris and Sokaris, gods of the dead and the underworld.
When successive Apis bulls died they were ceremoniously mummified and buried in huge stone sarcophagi in a subterranean gallery known as the Serapeum, in the Memphite necropolis, Saqqārah.
In the Saite period coffins often bear a representation of the Apis bull transporting the dead to the tomb.

 BIBBA Bee Improvement and Bee breeding Association - honey bee conservation
If, as is supposed, the separation of the Cerana and Mellifera species occurred in (relatively) recent times, the gene which enabled Cerana to develop a defence against varroa may still be lurking somewhere among the genes of the Mellifera races.
There is a danger that the development of resistance among apiary stocks might be concealed by the normal anti-varroa treatments and that a resistant strain might be lost through the death of the queens.
The Native Bee, Apis mellifera mellifera, still exerts a dominant influence over most of the British Isles in spite of the continuing importation of foreign races, owing to its better adaptation to the British climate.

The honey bees used in the United States are known as Apis Mellifera.
Apis Mellifera has many different sub-races, such as Apis Mellifera Mellifera the German fl bee, Apis Mellifera ligustica the Italian bee, and Apis Mellifera Carcina the Carniolan bee.
Caucasian bees over winter poorly, build up slowly in spring, are susceptible to Nosema disease and gum up their hives with propolis (tree resins and beeswax).

 Species Apis mellifera - Honey Bee - BugGuide.Net
Although some beekepers experimented with a few other subspecies, Apis mellifera ligustica has been the overwhelming favorite among beekepers in the last century and a half, along with Apis mellifera carnica, the Carniolan honeybee, and Apis mellifera caucasica, the Caucasian honeybee.
There are no true Apis mellifera scutellata in the Americas, but the African traits carried by descendents have spread thoughout the warmer parts of both North and South America.
Apis mellifera bees, for the most part, have no natural defenses, so when these crab-like arachnids are introduced into a hive, they quickly build up to such levels that there aren't enough bees left to keep the hive going.

There are also indications that the hybrid Brazilian Apis mellifera studied here are close to typical African bees (Apis mellifera scutellata) in terms of number of sensilla.
Three colonies (C1, C2, C36) of Caucasian bees (Apis mellifera caucasica), four colonies (A1, A2, A3, A76) of Africanized bees and three colonies (An1, An2, An3) of typical African bees (Apis mellifera scutellata) were used.
Thus, with respect to number of sensilla coeloconica and sensilla ampullacea, there are indications that Brazilian hybrid Apis mellifera bees tend towards the African ancestor, as also observed for several other morphometric traits studied by Stort and Bueno (1985).

We measured the age at onset of foraging in colonies derived from three races of European honey bees, Apis mellifera mellifera, Apis mellifera caucasica and Apis mellifera ligustica, using a cross-fostering design that involved six unrelated colonies of each race.
There also was a significant effect of the race of the host colony: cohorts of bees introduced into mellifera colonies showed the earliest onset of foraging, regardless of the race of the bees introduced.
Of Apis sequences with open reading frames of at least 450 bp, 24% are highly diverged with no matches to known protein sequences.

What we call honey bees are represented by eight to 10 species in the genus Apis, a name from which comes the word for beekeeping (apiculture) and the word for a bee yard (apiary).
The species of honey bee commonly found today in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas is Apis mellifera, which means honey carrier.
Caucasian bees (A. mellifera caucasica) are known to be extremely docile, whereas the fl or German bees (A. mellifera mellifera) are known to overwinter well in severe climates.

On 21 October 1857, three hives of German dark bees Apis mellifera mellifera were shipped to Honolulu by William Buck of San Jose, California (Eckert 1951, Krauss 1978) on the American bark Fanny Major (Spoehr 1992).
Italian bees Apis mellifera liguistica were purchased in Los Angeles, shipped to San Francisco, and then brought to the Islands on the steamer Lehua in 1880 by Sam G. Wilder (Chamber of Commerce, 1941).
The Territorial Government operated an apiary in which queens of different races, such as Italians, Carnolians Apis mellifera carnica, and Caucasians Apis mellifera caucasica, were imported and subsequently introduced to nuclei hives containing worker bees removed from existing "queenright" hives.
