	Honey Buzzard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Honey Buzzard (Pernis apivorus) is a bird of prey in the family Accipitridae which also includes many other diurnal raptors such as kites, eagles and harriers.
		Despite its name, this species is not related to the true buzzards in the genus Buteo, and is closer to the kites.
		The specific name apivorus means "bee-eater", although bees are much less important than wasps in its diet.
