A non-native species introduced by early European colonists to North America, for honey and wax, and now used in agriculture for pollination. We had a hive for one season, but were not successful bee keepers and the hive failed. Not good, but all too common for new and experienced bee keepers these days.
Honey Bees then took up residence in our flying squirrel box. Alas, they did not survive the winter (the squirrels appear to be fine).
But I know of several hives in the area. And we are surrounded by farms: corn, cranberries, blueberries, and more. Thus it is no surprise that a Honey Bees would show up in the yard. I'm surprised we don't see more.
