The South African map indicating the natural habitats of the Cape and African honey bees is divided by a pink line. This line separates the natural habitats of the Cape honey bees (Apis mellifere capensis) and the African honey bees (Apis mellifera scutellata). The Cape honey bees are primarily found in the fynbos biome of the Western Cape, while the African honey bees inhabit the central and northern parts of South Africa. The map highlights key towns on the border where these two species coexist, such as Bizana, Flagstaff, and Graaff Reinet.
