Hunigbēon hordiaþ hunig (þe is of mildēawe gemacod) in hira hȳfum, which provides the energy for flight muscles and for heating during the winter period, and pollen which supplies protein for bee brood to grow. Through centuries of selective breeding, honeybees can produce far more honey than the colony needs. Beekeepers, also known as "apiarists", harvest the honey and supply sugar for the winter.
Hunigbēon sind underdǣl bēona þe feallaþ in þǣm Hāda Hymenoptera and Underhāda Apocrita.

- Apis florea and Apis cerana sind smalla hunigbēon sūðernes and sūþēastes Asian þe weorðaþ getilod for hunige in a similar fashion to Apis mellifera. Their stings are often not capable of penetrating human skin, so the hive and swarms can be handled without protection.
- Apis dorsata, the giant honeybee, is native to south and southeastern Asia, and usually makes its colonies on high tree limbs, or on cliffs, and sometimes on buildings. It is wild and can be very fierce. It is robbed of its honey periodically by human honey gatherers, a practice known as honey hunting. Its colonies are easily capable of stinging a human being to death when provoked.aglo saxons like pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!yay go pie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
