  • The given statement is true.
  •  Apis mellifera (western honey bee) is a honey bee species. 
  • The scientific name Apis mellifera originates from the Latin Melli- "honey" and ferra "to bear," therefore it literally means "honey-bearing bee." 
  • Carolus Linnaeus coined the name Apis mellifica in 1758, but later tried to correct it to Apis mellifica after discovering that bees do not bear honey, but nectar ("honey-making bee).
