This image was selected as picture of the day on Wikimedia Commons for 11 February 2013. It was captioned as follows: English: Dwarf honey bees (Apis florea) were introduced from Oman to Jordan most probably through a cargo ship that docked in the port of Aqaba. First reported in 2007, this species has established in southern Jordan and Israel and is considered there as invasive. The agricultural and conservation sectors in Israel have expressed fears that the bees will spread northwards, potentially competing with local bees for food resources and jeopardizing crop pollination. Pictured here is a worker foraging on a native plant on the outskirts of Eilat. Other languages:
Deutsch: Eine Zwerghonigbiene (Apis florea) in den Bergen von Eilat in Israel. Die Zwerghonigbiene gilt in Israel und Jordanien als Invasive Art.

Español: Una obrera de la especie Apis florea alimentándose de una planta del género Zilla en las afueras de Eilat, Israel. Italiano: Operaio di ape nana (Apis florea) su un fiore di zilla alla periferia di di Eilat, Israele. Arrivata di recente in Israele è considerata una specie aliena e ci sono timori che possa diffondersi ulteriormente verso nord, competendo con le specie locali e causando problemi al processo di impollinazione. Nederlands: Dwerghoningbijen (Apis florea) werden zeer waarschijnlijk door een vrachtschip dat aanlegde in de haven van Akaba in Jordanië geïntroduceerd vanuit Oman. De soort werd voor het eerst gerapporteerd in 2007 en vestigde zich in zuidelijk Jordanië en Israël en wordt beschouwd als invasieve soort. De landbouw- en het natuurorganisaties in Israël hebben hun vrees geuit dat de bijen zich naar het noorden verspreiden en mogelijk gaan concurreren met lokale bijen voor voedselbronnen en een gevaar opleveren voor gewasbestuiving.
