Quote:  "Indeed, the western honey bee Apis mellifera L. is also a component of biodiversity in its native range (Africa, Europe, Western, and Central Asia), where it has adapted to diverse environmental conditions and natural habitats. The conservation of honey bee biodiversity would therefore benefit from the maintenance of small-scale beekeeping management and conservation areas in natural and protected lands." Why do they brand Apis mellifera L (Ligustica) as the western honey bee?  Apis mellifera mellifera has a much wider range: from the Urals to Ireland. Chris
