Apis mellifera
Identification suggestions (from the community or from AI) and the information here may be wrong; this app never confirms that anything is safe to eat. Do not consume wild plants, mushrooms or seafood without expert confirmation. Nothing here is medical advice.
Stings only once — the barbed sting stays in the skin and the bee dies. Scrape the sting out with a nail or card rather than squeezing it. In people allergic to bee venom a single sting can cause anaphylaxis; seek emergency care if there is breathing difficulty or facial swelling.
