[[Image:Apiscerana.jpg|thumb|Indian Honey Bee.]] The '''Indian honey bee''' ''(Apis cerana indica)'', is a subspecies of [[Asiatic honey bee]]. It is one of the predominant bees found and domesticated in [[Southern Asia]], particularly in [[Pakistan]], and far as [[Thailand]] and mainland [[Asia]]. Relatively non-aggressive and rarely exhibiting [[swarming behaviour]], it is ideal for beekeeping. It is considered as the ''“National Insect of Pakistan”'' respectively. It is similar to the [[European honey bee]] (''Apis mellifera''), which tends to be slightly larger and can be easily distinguished.
