Which of the following bee types is specifically trained for honey production but can show aggressiveness?

The hybrid bee is specifically bred for honey production and can exhibit aggressive behavior. Hybrid bees are often developed through the crossing of different bee strains to combine the most favorable traits, such as high honey yield and strong foraging abilities. While these bees may inherit the productivity traits of their parent lines, they can also retain or even amplify the aggressive behaviors found in certain bee types, especially if one of those parent lines is known for its defensiveness. This makes them effective for beekeepers focused on maximizing honey production, even though their temperament may require careful management.

In contrast, the other bee types listed have different characteristics: German bees, while known for their productivity, tend to be less manageable due to their aggressive nature. Italian bees are generally more docile and excellent honey producers but do not typically exhibit the aggression mentioned. Carpenter bees, on the other hand, are not honey producers at all; instead, they are solitary bees that bore into wood, making them an unrelated choice in the context of honey production.
