Apis cerana indica, commonly known as the Indian honey bee, is a subspecies of the Asiatic honey bee. This species thrives in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and other parts of mainland Asia. Its non-aggressive nature and minimal swarming behavior make it ideal for beekeeping.

Identifying Apis Cerana Indica

Apis cerana workers have four distinct abdominal stripes, whereas Apis mellifera workers display only three. The abdominal stripes (tomenta) of Apis cerana appear more pronounced compared to Apis mellifera. The body size of workers varies based on geographic distribution, making identification easier in different regions.
