New Jersey State Insect

Honey Bee

Our State bug, the honeybee, serves all of us very well. It makes honey for sweetening our meals and beeswax to smooth things out. Honeybees also pollinate our flowers, fruit trees and vegetable blossoms. A group of New Jersey school children persuaded the Legislature to designate the honeybee as the State bug. Then they all watched as the Governor signed the bill into law in 1974. Now isn't that a honey of a tale?
