When Carl Linnaeus first devised his taxanomic system he started with three major kingdoms, Animals, Plants, and Minerals. We dropped the minerals kingdom a long time ago, but we still have the other two: Animalia and Plantae. All living things will fall into one or other of these kingdoms.
Kingdoms are divided into a number of Phylums, Phylums divided into a number of Classes, and on through Order, Family, and Genus. In more recent years, Subkingdom, Subphylum, Subclass, and others have been added.
So, the full taxonomy of a domestic cat is
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Subkingdom: Eumetazoa
- Phylum: Chordata
- Subphylum: Vertebrata
- Class: Mammalia
- Subclass: Theria
- Order: Carnivora
- Suborder: Feliformia
- Family: Felidae
- Subfamily: Felinae
- Genus: Felis
- Species: Catus
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Arthropoda
- Class: Insecta
- Infraclass: Neoptera
- Superorder: Endopterygota
- Order: Hymenoptera
- Suborder: Apocrita
- Family: Apidae
- Subfamily: Apinae
- Tribe: Apini
- Genus: Apis
- Species: Mellifera
The cat and bee are both classified in the kingdom "animalia" simply for the fact that they are both multicellular Eukaryota organisms.
What else can I help you with?
Does the male or female honey bee eat first?
They are both fed as grubs by the nurse bees tending the brood. There is no concept of first or second.
Is the decline of honey bees a greater problem than global warming?
Both the decline of honey bees and global warming are significant environmental issues that require urgent attention. Each has unique impacts on ecosystems and human livelihoods, so it may not be useful to compare them in terms of importance. Both issues need to be addressed through collective efforts to ensure a sustainable future for our planet.
What type of mouthparts do honey bees have?
Honey bees have a combined mouth parts than can both chew and suck (whereas grasshoppers can chew and moth can suck, but not both). This is accomplished by having both mandibles and a proboscis. The mandibles are the paired "teeth" that can be open and closed to chew wood, manipulate wax, cleaning other bees, and biting other workers or pests (mites). The proboscis is mainly used for sucking in liquids such as nectar, water and honey inside the hive, for exchanging food with other bees (trophallaxis), and also for removing water from nectar. The workers can put a droplet of nectar between the proboscis and the rest of the mouth parts to increase the surface area, and slowly moving the proboscis back and forth.
What is the best type of clover for honey bees?
White, Sweet white and yellow, red, crimson and Alsike clovers are the best types for honey bees [subgenera Micrapis, Megapis, Apis]. White, red, crimson and alsike clover [Trifolium repens, T. pratense, T. incarnatum, T. hybridum] are important during their bloom times of June and July. Sweet white and yellow [Melilotus alba, M. officinalis] are critical because of their bloom times from May through August.
Are a badger and honey guide bird buddies?
The honey guide bird and the honey badger have a mutalistic relationship, because both the bird and badger benefit, because the bird locates the honey while the badger attacks the bees and the bird can break through the bees nests hard shell and they both snack.
How are honey and wax related?
They are both produced by bees.
Why are the honey bees and silkworm important?
Both are economically significant insects. Honey bees are also important pollinators of many plants.
Is a honeybee a chewer or a sucker?
It is both. Honey bees have both chewing and sucking mouthparts.
When is a bee not a bee?
A bumble bee is a bee -- just a different sort of bee.Bumble bees do collect nectar and make honey, but not in large enough quantities to make it worth harvesting.However bumble bees are excellent Pollinators, so bumble Bees can be worth keeping. Farmers will pay you money to lend them your hives for the season so that the bumble bees pollinate their crops.
Are males or females genetic copies of honey bees?
Neither males nor females are genetic copies of honey bees. Both males and females are part of the honey bee species and have their own unique genetic makeup.
Person who raises bees?
A person who raises bees is known as a beekeeper or an apiarist. They are responsible for managing bee colonies, extracting honey, and promoting the health and well-being of the bees. Beekeepers play a vital role in both honey production and the pollination of crops.
How are scienctists helping honey bees?
By figuring out what is killing them. Probably pesticides or mites, or both.
What kind of bee makes a nest like a hornet?
Yes. Some hornets and some wasps do indeed make honey. However, the honey made by wasps is not consumed by humans.
Does the male or female honey bee eat first?
They are both fed as grubs by the nurse bees tending the brood. There is no concept of first or second.
What do bees use to make their combs?
Honey combs are made of wax; both the honey and the wax are ultimately made from the nectar and the pollen that bees collect from flowers.
What bees dont sting?
Wasps,hornets, honey-bees, bumble bees, killer bees.Only the females (queen and workers) can sting, the males (drones) can't.
What does the honey bee and the killer bee have in common?
A "killer bee" IS a honey bee- they are both Apis mellifera, the European honey bee. The difference with killer bees, otherwise known as Africanized honey bees, is that they are hybridized with African honey bees. The hybrid produced is normal in most regards, except that when their hive is threatened they respond in much greater numbers and with more ferocity. With regular honey bees, the response to a threat is dependent on the severity; if you stand outside a beehive and knock on it, you may only get stung a few times or not at all. With Africanized honey bees, however, they are more likely to swarm and attack. Otherwise, besides a few minor differences in nest structure and appearance, they are the same.
