We recently started working with bees and have three hives. We are taking a
class at a local college and are very excited about all we are learning. Two
friends recently related to us of Southern California childhood memories of
a type of non-stinging bee. They called them 'H' bees because of a
distinctive mark on their backs.
 
Can anyone tell me more about these 'H' bees. Where we live a non-stinging
bee would be most neighborly and I wonder if these might be domesticated and
commercially available.
 
I would appreciate any information that could be provided me.
 
Thank you for your time and help.
