Some friends and I were talking about bees seen in the garden. There is 
a small slim bee which we all felt looked like a honeybee (definitely 
not a bumblebee), but on reflection we wondered if honeybees only lived 
in domesticated colonies. Most of us have these "honeybees" in our 
gardens, but we don't know of any hives nearby. So, we were wondering if 
they might be domesticated honeybees which have set up housekeeping in 
the wild, or more probably, are they some related wild species.

Anybody care to take a stab at this?
