The six others are powerfully armed to enable the animal to cling on to its host during flight. Superfamily: APOIDEA. Family: APIDAE. Subfamily: APINAE. HOST: Apis mellifica Linn., the hive or honeybee. Biology: The domesticated species form the highest group of the true social bees; they are organised in the most efficient commune known to man; they have a perfect distribution of labour; defending the hive by concerted attack; nursing the larvae; building several sheets or combs of hexagonal cells, in which are reared many thousands of workers, and a few hundred drones.
