Not sure who needs to hear this... but... honey bees throughout the world are an **invasive** species. They are only native to Europe. Stop trying to save invasive species!

why would these honey-making bees native to the Americas not qualify as honey bees?

@lxo Honey bees are a specific species of bee Stingless Bees, while producing some honey, are not "Honey Bees" . They are also not typically the sort of bee you see. We are talking Aparis Serena.
yeah, but my question was why the term "honey bees" wouldn't apply to these other animals that are also bees that make honey. it sounds inconsistent and discriminatory to me. though I suppose the affected bees wouldn't care so much one way or the other ;-)
now, Brazilian native stingless bees are far more common visitors to my home than the exotic honey bees. they're far more welcome, too ;-)
