The Official Kansas State Insect

Honey Bee

The Honey Bee is the state bug of Kansas, and it has a fascinating history. Honey Bees are social insects and they live in colonies that can contain up to 50,000 bees. These bees are essential for pollination, and they are responsible for pollinating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. They also produce honey, an important source of food for many people. In addition to their pollination and honey production, Honey Bees play an important role in the ecology of Kansas. In 1986, the Honey Bee was designated as the official state insect of Kansas in recognition of its importance for the state’s ecology and economic activity. The Honey Bee has since become a symbol of the state and is proudly displayed on many state flags and license plates. Honey Bees are also beloved by many residents of Kansas and they can frequently be seen in the state’s parks, gardens, and fields. It is no wonder that the Honey Bee has become the beloved state insect of Kansas.
