Cretan Honey Bee
Apis mellifera adami was a honey bee once native to Crete, it was named in honour of Brother Adam, a renowned beekeeper. As per other native subspecies of honey bee in their native territories, A. m. adami played a crucial role in pollination on the island. However, recent genetic studies reveal that it may have gone extinct, highlighting the importance of conservation efforts in protecting local honey bee populations.
