Apis mellifera cecropia, commonly called the Greek bee, is the honey bee subspecies native to southern Greece. It is very similar to Apis mellifera ligustica, the Italian bee. it is favored for its extreme gentleness and lack of tendency to swarm. However, if crossed with Apis mellifera mellifera (the Northern dark bee) it is said that the offspring are very aggressive. The Greek bee originates in Greece where the climate is Mediterranean, and cannot survive in the north of Europe where the climate is cooler, and because of that they are not spread around the world much by commercial beekeepers. They are mainly only kept in southern Greece.

- La Apis mellifera cecropia descripta por Kiesenwetter, 1860; es una subespecie de abeja denominada abeja Griega del sur. Su área de distribución natural es en el sudeste de Grecia. Bouga (2005) estudia poblaciones de abejas de varias áreas de Grecia (Ikaria, Kasos, Kythira, Phthiotida, Macedonia y Chipre) analizando segmentos del ADN mitocondrial encontrándose diferencias de restricciones enzimáticas, resultando que Apis mellifera adamii, Apis mellifera cecropia y Apis mellifera cypria tienen un haplotipo que difiere del haplotipo de Apis mellifera macedonica, resultando esta subespecie ser la más distante de todas. Esta subespecie pertenece al linage C junto a Apis mellifera carnica, Apis mellifera ligustica, etc. que habitan Europa central. La apariencia es similar a la de Apis mellifera carnica. Las reinas y zánganos son oscuros. Cría temprano en la primavera, generando grandes colonias. Tendencia a enjambrar. Apis mellifera cecropia propoliza la entrada y el interior de la colmena, siendo un problema para el manejo de los cuadros. Produce mucha miel sobre todo en la primavera, aprovechando los flujos de miel. La diferencia entre A. m. macedonica y A. m cecropia es que macedonica es más mansa dado que es uno de los parientes más cercanos de las abejas carniolas (Apis mellifera carnica). A. m. cecropia es ideal para generar abejas, dada la alta fecundidad, y baja agresividad.
