What is the botanical name for honey?
Apis is the zoological name of the honey bee.
Specifically, the Latin, scientific or zoological name generally consists of two parts. The first part identifies the genus (in this case, Apis). The second part identifies the species.
Honey bees all belong to the genus Apis. 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!
