Honey bees produce and store honey, and build nests out of wax. They account for only seven out of the some 20,000 known species of bees. Other bees may make and store honey, but only honey bees, of the genus Apis, are classified scientifically as true honey bees. Those who engage in scientific classification start with asking whether what they're studying belongs in one of two kingdoms: animal; or plant. The honey bee belongs in the former. And so the scientific classification of the honey bee looks as follows: Kingdom: Animalia. Phylum: Arthropoda. Class: Insecta. Subclass: Pterygota. Infraclass: Neoptera. Superorder: Endopterygota. Order: Hymenoptera. Suborder: Apocrita. Family: Apidae. Subfamily: Apinae. Tribe: Apini. Genus: Apis.
