Certain bees don't tolerate a lot of disturbance while others do.
Within this article I hope to give you some indication about three common honey bees' types as well as the two other types as far as behavioral differences are concerned.
Behavioral dimension :
There are effectively two known types of bees if one considers the behavioral dimension. In fact, there are solitary bees and social ones. What are solitary bees and what are social bees?
Solitary bees are bees that do not live in a colony
Social bees do the contrary, meaning that the queen the workers and the drones live all in a colony.
Disturbance Level :
These little creatures also differ in their tolerance of disturbances. In fact, certain colonies may abandon their hives because of disturbances.

Disturbance Level :
These little creatures also differ in their tolerance of disturbances. In fact, certain colonies may abandon their hives because of disturbances.
However, the level of disturbances tolerated by bees varies. Some bees can tolerate more disturbances than others.
(1) The Apis Florae :
First of beginning with bees that don't tolerate a lot of disturbance we have the apis florae. As mentioned earlier, if the apis florae feels disturbed it is likely to leave its hive.
This species are characterized by a smaller size when compared to other honeybees, they build single comb hive and are generally found in forest as well as in lush, areas of farming .
(2) the Apis Dorsata (the rock bee) :

(2) the Apis Dorsata (the rock bee) :
The rock bee or apis dorsata is another type of honeybee. It is characterized by a bigger when compared to the other honeybees
The apis dorsata shares some similarities with the apis florae or dwarf bee.
The apis dorsata shares some similarities with the apis florae or dwarf bee.
Effectively, the rock bee also may abandon its hive because of disturbances.
Additionally, the apis dorsata, construct single comb hives like the apis florae. Their hive can also be found suspended like those of the dwarf bees.
Having the hive suspended 5 meters above the ground can serve as a protection against honey predators of a larger size .
(3) the Apis Cerana (oriental honey bee)
Having the hive suspended 5 meters above the ground can serve as a protection against honey predators of a larger size .
(3) the Apis Cerana (oriental honey bee)
The Apis Cerana differs particularly from the dwarf and rock bees in the fact that the apis cerana can live and be raised in man-made beehives.
The apis cerana build parallel comb hives instead of the single comb hives particular to the two other honey bees types .
The climate seems to have an influence on the size of the bees. Consequently, due to the variety of places with diverse climates where the oriental honey bee can be found, the bees also have different sizes.
