About

La abeja melífera occidental es uno de los insectos económicamente más importantes del planeta, responsable de polinizar aproximadamente un tercio de la producción alimentaria mundial, con un valor superior a los 500.000 millones de dólares anuales. Originalmente nativa de Europa, África y Asia occidental, ha sido gestionada por los seres humanos para la obtención de miel y servicios de polinización durante al menos 9.000 años, y ha sido introducida en todo el mundo. Las colonias altamente eusociales de 20.000 a 80.000 obreras se comunican mediante la famosa danza de las abejas para compartir información precisa sobre la ubicación de fuentes de alimento.
