Description
I took this photograph of our honey bee at our Picnic Point Park in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia where the garden flowers are in full bloom.
The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is an exotic species that was introduced into the Australian environment over 170 years ago. Honey bees were used to pollinate plants grown by early settlers for food - a task that was previously done by hand. Honey bees are now kept commercially for honey production, but feral bees have also become an increasing threat to our native hollow-dwelling fauna, particularly black cockatoos, through competition for suitable hollows, and possibly also competition for nectar.
