Honey Bee Subspecies:Apis Mellifera Cecropia

Apis mellifera cecropia, is a Greek bee , a subspecies of honey bee that is native to Pteleos and southwest magnesia a.It is very similar to Apis mellifera ligustica, or the Italian bee. It is favored for its extreme gentleness and lack of tendency to swarm. This species prefers warm temperatures, owing to its Mediterranean origin, and cannot survive in northern Europe’s cooler climate. Due to that, they are seldom kept outside of southern Greece.Apis Mellifera Cecropia is producing less honey quantity compared to Appis Mellifera Adamis
