State Insect, Honey Bee - Designated by General Assembly in 1973 Honey Bee became North Carolinas official State Insect. This hard working creature is responsible for the annual honey production worth more then $2,000,000 in the state. Not a native species, the honey bee was brought to North America by settlers from Europe. Honey, which bees produce to feed the colony, is a natural sweetener. In the process of gathering nectar to make honey, bees pollinate seed-bearing plants that provide us with food and with fiber for clothing. Pollination is biggest Honey Bee's contribution to North Carolina crops.
Did you know that: The honey bee has been proclaimed the official state insect in 16 states?

I did not know that about 16 states. Thanks for the post and the info
I knew the honey bee was our state insect but was unaware it was for 16 states. Very interesting post. Thanks for the info
Not many people realize how important these insects are for food production. I will have to see what it is in Louisiana. Probably the mosquito.
