What does APIAN mean in Scrabble?
adjective
zoology
Relating to or characteristic of bees.
Apian describes anything connected with bees, from their biology and behavior to the products of their labor, and it appears almost exclusively in scientific or specialized writing rather than casual speech. Beekeepers and entomologists might refer to apian diseases, apian social structure, or apian pollination habits when precision matters more than plain wording. The word shares its root with apiary, the structure where bees are kept, and with apiculture, the practice of beekeeping itself. Everyday speech almost always prefers the simpler phrase relating to bees.
