16、 species, which were introduced to China by beekeepers because the female workers are more focused on their job and produce more honey, which is also sweeter.However, the European species also carries a number of deadly diseases that can damage the natural habitat.

However, many Asian bee species across the region are now close extinction，And thats a cause for concern as the flowers of many Asian plants are not recognized by European honeybees, which will cause fundamental changes
19、 in the ecological balance.A solution put forward by bee scientists was to draw a border between European and Asian honeybees.
