No, there are not two types of honey bees.

Specifically, there are three main types of honey bees. Apis functions as the genus for all honey bees. It is divided into three subgenuses: Apis, Megapis and Micrapis. The Apis subgenus is thought to originate as cave-dwellers from eastern tropical Africa. The Megapis and Micrapis subgenuses originate in south and southeast Asia where they respectively nest among woody plant branches and atop heights (buildings, cliffs, trees).
