Naming it Apis mellifera reminds us that taxonomy isn’t just labels—it’s how we understand and conserve life. 🌱🐝

👀 Fun fact: Apis mellifera was named by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 in Systema Naturae. He called it mellifera (“honey-bearing”), though mellifica (“honey-making”) would’ve been more accurate. He later noted this, but the original name stuck under zoological rules.

🍯🐝It’s Apis mellifera — a tireless honey producer, expert pollinator, and a keystone for biodiversity. It lives in organized colonies, produces honey in abundance, and has conquered almost every continent.

Taxonomy isn’t just naming—it’s the foundation of understanding biodiversity. That’s where the @tettris.eu comes in. So..., this is not just a Bee 🐝, It is...🧵

Starting up! 🙌☀️

Opening words from Domingo Marquina (UCM), Isabel Rey (MNCN-CSIC) and Rafael Zardoya (MNCN-CSIC) 🗣️

The focus is on #pollinator declines 📉 and the importance of collaborative projects like #INCSTEP in addressing them! 🐝🪰🦋

#NHMs and reference collections are key to monitoring them!
