2 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Honeybee \Hon"ey*bee`\, n. (Zo["o]l.) Any bee of the genus {Apis}, which lives in communities and collects honey, esp. the common domesticated hive bee ({Apis mellifica}), the Italian bee ({A. ligustica}), and the Arabiab bee ({A. fasciata}). The two latter are by many entomologists considered only varieties of the common hive bee. Each swarm of bees consists of a large number of workers (barren females), with ordinarily, one queen or fertile female, but in the swarming season several young queens, and a number of males or drones, are produced. From WordNet r 1.6 [wn]: honeybee n : social bee often domesticated for the honey it produces [syn: {Apis mellifera}]
