The true scientific term for a bee’s tongue is glossa.

That said, many writings call a bee’s tongue the proboscis. However, the proboscis actually includes many parts of the bee’s mouth – not just the tongue.

Think about it this way:

A human’s mouth comprises of a tongue, lips, gums, and teeth. When referring to something inside the mouth, we use specific words like “teeth” or “gums.”

The same goes for bees.

When referring to a bee’s tongue, we should use the specific term “glossa.”

Proboscis refers to the bee’s mouth as a whole and can be too broad. Remember that the proboscis has multiple parts, including the maxillae, labial palpi, and glossa.

Nevertheless, you’ll still see where people continue to use “proboscis” as the name for a bee’s tongue. But now you know the difference.
