The Official Wisconsin State Insect

Honey Bee

The Honey Bee, Apis mellifera, is the official state insect of Wisconsin. The honey bee was adopted as Wisconsin's official state insect in 1977, by a joint resolution of the Wisconsin State Legislature. Honey bees are one of the most important pollinators in the world, responsible for pollinating many of the fruits, vegetables, and other crops that we eat. Honey bees live in large colonies and are known to be highly organized and efficient. They produce honey and beeswax which is used in a variety of products. Honey bees are also known to be gentle and non-aggressive, and have been kept by humans for generations. Honey bees are an important part of Wisconsin's natural environment and economy. Their presence helps to ensure the production of food and other products that are important to Wisconsin and its citizens.
