"Honey bee" is an English equivalent of "abeille à miel" (Apis mellifera).

The feminine noun "abeille" means "bee." Its singular definite article is "l"* ("the"), and its singular indefinite article "une" ("a, one"). The preposition "Ã" means "to, in, at." The masculine noun "miel" means "honey." Its singular indefinite article is "le," and its singular indefinite article "un."

The pronunciation is "ah-beh ah myehl."

*The feminine definite singular article actually is "la." But the vowel "a" in "la" drops before a noun that begins with a vowel. The temporary nature of that drop is indicated by an apostrophe.
