Kingdom: Animal
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Hymenoptera
Family: Apidae
Genus: Apis
Species: mellifera
In addition, there is the superfamily, Apioidea (which includes Apidae), the
tribe Apinae (which includes Apis), and many subspecies or races of A.
mellifera (all of which are true honeybees). Note that honeybee is one word.
