Honey wasps (Brachygastra) and a few other hymenopteran species produce honey, but not in the kind of surplus that honeybees do. I sort of remember a bee researcher (Thomas D. Seeley?) writing about harvesting a few spoonfuls of honey from a bumblebee nest, and describing the flavor. Also dimly remembered are the ants who store honey in the distended abdomens of some of the workers, esteemed as a tasty snack by people living nearby. As User:Waspbeehybrid pointed out on their talk page, the ability to create honey may merit mention in this article.

According to some articles from 2010 there's a current Apis Mellifera presence in southwest Lybia, which is a bit beyond the distribution map shown on the page. passcod ( talk) 08:52, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
