I think this is Apis mellifera. Many of the older varieties were very dark, almost black, with no pale marks on the abdomen. Some of the old varieties are still kept.

Hello, I think the hind leg, on the first photo, makes it Apis mellifera without doubt. Pierre Duhem |

The fact of having widened tibia III characterizes Apoidea females but is not particular in Apis! And at the Nomadas female in example, that does not appear clearly! Apis mellifera is recognized in particular with the hairy eyes! cthirion |

Camille, I meant considering the other aspects of the animal, but thanks for the precision. Edited by pierred on 22-11-2006 16:37 Pierre Duhem |
