The honey you buy in the store is made by Honey Bees. There are 7 different types of honey bees including: Apis andreniformi, Apis florea, Apis dorsata, Apis cerana, Apis koschevnikovi, Apis mellifera, and Apis nigrocincta.
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.
Apiculture focuses on species of bees that are social and live and work together, because that is necessary for bee farming. In the Western world, the predominant species of honey bees used for apiculture is the apis mellifera.
Andreniformis, cerana, dorsata, florea, koschevnikovi, mellifera, are nigrocincta are the scientific names for the honey bee species.Specifically, an animal's scientific name consists of at least two parts. The first part is the genus, which is Apis in terms of the honey bee. The second is the species, which will be one of the seven names given above. The complete name therefore will be Apis andreniformis, A. cerana, A. dorsata, A. florea, A. koschevnikovi, A. mllifera, or A. nigrocincta depending upon the honey bee in question.
Apis nigrocincta was created in 1861.
Apis nearctica was created in 2009.
Apis koschevnikovi was created in 1906.
Apis andreniformis was created in 1858.
Apis florea was created in 1787.
There are several species of bees, all of which have been grouped under the monophyletic series Anthophila of superfamily Apoidae, of order Hymenoptera of class Insecta of Phylum Arthropoda. The most common genus of bee is the genus Apis (Latin Apis = bee). Some key species include Apis dorsata, Apis mellifera, Apis indica, etc.
