Strictly speaking, there is no American honey bee. There were no honey bees in the Americas before they were introduced by early European settlers, so they are all European honey bees, Apis mellifera.
Honey bee's (and all bee's, wasps, and ants) are in the order Hymenoptera. The honey bee is further classified into the genus Apis.
Apis Mellifera
Apis is the genus name for all honey bees.Specifically, the honey bee's scientific name includes at least two names. One is the genus name. The other is the species, of which there are seven: andreniformis, cerana, dorsata, florea, koschevikovni, mellifera, and nigrocincta.
The scientific name of a bee is Apis. Specifically, honey bees, which are the most common group of bees used for honey production, belong to the genus Apis.
the honey bee
Apis andreniformis, A. cerana, A. dorsata, A. florea, A. koschevnikovi, A. mellifera, and A. nigrocincta are scientific names of the honey bee.Specifically, a scientific name consists of at least two names, of which the first is the genus and the second the species. In this case, the genus indicates that the insect in question is a honey bee. The species tells exactly what kind of honey bee it is.

Other bees have different Genus and Species name, for example the stingless native bee (Australia) is called Trigona carbonaria . Note the genus and species are always italicised, the genus has a capital letter, the species does not.Also in the same Order -Hymenoptera, are ants and wasps. Most ants only have wings during their mating flights.
I hope that that bee is not an Africanized honey bee.
