To know about Bee Species
There are about 19,000 known species of bee, a similar
number of species of wasps and a good many more of each that we have
yet to discover and catalogue.
Many of these insects are solitary in habit, but some of
them are social and live in colonies varying in size from a few dozen
up to many thousands. All in all, we humans are outnumbered by bees on
this planet by an estimated 20,000 to 1. There are also many thousands
of other insects that are equipped with stings, yet incidence of any
insect stinging a human being are very rare. Bees are in fact very
gentle creatures if left undisturbed.
Bees are classified into the following categories

Apis cerana
Apis cerana, or the Asiatic honey bee (or the Eastern honey bee), are small honey bees of southern and southeastern Asia, such as China, India, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Bangladesh and Papua New Guinea. This species is the sister species of Apis koschevnikovi, and both are in the same subgenus as the Western (European) honey bee, Apis mellifera.

Apis Western
The Western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a species of honey bee. The genus Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera is Greek from meli- "honey" + ferre "to carry" - hence the scientific name means "honey-carrying bee". This is technically wrong, since honey bees carry nectar and produce honey. The name was coined in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus who, in a subsequent publication, tried to correct it to Apis mellifica ("honey-making bee"); however, according to the rules of synonymy in zoological nomenclature, the older name has precedence. Some people who are unaware of this still use the incorrect subsequent spelling. As of October 28, 2006, the Honey Bee Genome Sequencing Consortium fully sequenced and analyzed the genome of Apis mellifera.
