Any bee of the genus Apis, which lives in communities and
collects honey, esp. the common domesticated hive bee (Apis

Arabiab bee (A. fasciata). The two latter are by many
entomologists considered only varieties of the common hive
bee. Each swarm of bees consists of a large number of workers
(barren females), with, ordinarily, one queen or fertile
female, but in the swarming season several young queens, and
a number of males or drones, are produced. Adenostoma fasciculatumChamisal Cha`mi*sal", n. [Amer. Sp., fr. Sp. chamiza a kind of
