Cathy Vitone spied this honeybee at her Ligustrum shrubbery in her front yard in Land O’ Lakes. Honeybees are important pollinators for flowers, fruits, and vegetables. There are three types of honeybees: Workers forage for food (pollen and nectar from flowers); the Queen regulates the hive’s activities by producing a chemical to guide the behavior of other bees; and Drones live in the hive during the spring and summer. All honeybees are social and cooperative insects.
