honeybees in Baja


Photo of honey collecting in the early 1900s. Honeybees are non-native to the Californias, an introduced species. One biological journal from 1891 states: "The honey bee is slowly traveling southward in Lower California and is now more than halfway down toward Cape San Lucas."

honey bees are native to Mexico and Baja California - mainly stingless bees.

Right on. It's the Apis mellifera (Western or European honey bee) I was referring to as non-native, brought to the Americas by Europeans.
