Apis andreniformis, or the black dwarf honey bee, is a relatively rare species of honey bee whose native habitat is the tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia.[1]
A. andreniformis was the fifth honey bee species to be described of the seven known species of Apis.[1] Until recently, however, the actual identity of the species was poorly understood. It was not recognized as its own species, but was instead considered to be a part of the species Apis florea.[1] Recent studies have highlighted notable differences between the bees and have thus separated them into distinct species.[1]
