The Official Louisiana State Insect

Honey Bee

The Honey Bee is the official Louisiana state insect and is known for its hardworking and cooperative nature. The species is also known for its production of honey, wax and other resources. It is not only beneficial to the environment but is also an important part of the local economy. Honey bees pollinate many of the fruits, vegetables and flowers that are grown in the state, making them vital to the local agricultural industry. In 1977, the Louisiana legislature declared the Honey Bee as the official state insect. This designation was made in recognition of the bee’s important ecological and economic role in the state. It also serves as a reminder of the importance of taking care of the environment and the precious resources it provides.
