Scientists then divide the genus into a subgenus, of which there are three for the honey bee: Apis, Megrapis, Micrapis.Each subgenus further divides into a species: cerana, koschevnikovi, mellifera, nigrocinctafor Apis, dorsata for Megapis, and andreniformis and florea for Micrapis. Each species additionally divides into a subspecies, of which there are 44.A complete zoological name for a honey bee therefore may involve four parts: genus, subgenus, species, and subspecies!
