It originally comes from Lat. ”alveus” which means ”cavity” or "beehive". As time has passed the meaning has somehow wandered away to refer to the bees themselves. wiktionary.org is a great friend :)

It seems that Latin apis (Italian ape) or Latin apicula (Spanish abeja) does not have a descendant in Romanian.
