List of Apis mellifera subspecies

Apis mellifera, the western honey bee, has many subspecies. The most recent taxonomic revision in 1999 recognized 28 subspecies[1] and three additional subspecies have been described since then (Apis mellifera pomonella in 2003, Apis mellifera simensis in 2011, and Apis mellifera sinisxinyuan in 2016; see below). Other sources recognize as many as 33 subspecies.[2]

Apis mellifera

Subspecies of Africa

  • Apis mellifera adansonii, classified by Latreille, 1804 (the West African honey bee) found in Nigeria and Burkina Faso.[1]
  • Apis mellifera capensis, classified by Eschscholtz, 1822 (the Cape honey bee) found in southern South Africa.[1]
  • Apis mellifera intermissa, classified by von Buttel-Reepen, 1906 (the Tellian honey bee) found in the north western coast of Africa from Tunisia, along Libya and westerly into Morocco (north of the Atlas Mountains.[1]
  • Apis mellifera jemenitica, classified by Ruttner, 1976 (the Arabian honey bee) found in Somalia, Uganda, Sudan and Yemen.[1]
  • Apis mellifera lamarckii, classified by Cockerell, 1906 (the Egyptian honey bee) found in Nile Valley of Egypt and Sudan,[1] domesticated before 2600BC.[3] This mitotype can also be identified in honey bees from California.[4]
  • Apis mellifera litorea, classified by Smith, 1961 (the East African coastal honey bee) found in the low elevations of east Africa.[1]
  • Apis mellifera monticola, classified by Smith, 1961 (the East African mountain honey bee) found in the high altitude mountains with elevation between 1,500 and 3,100 metres of east Africa, such as (Mt. Elgon, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kenya and Mt. Meru).[1]
  • Apis mellifera ruttneri, classified by Sheppard, Arias, Grech & Meixner in 1997 (the Maltese honey bee) endemic to the Maltese islands.[1]
  • Apis mellifera sahariensis, classified by Baldensperger, 1932 (the Saharan honey bee) found in northwestern Africa, on the southern side of the Atlas Mountains. (the existence of this subspecies has previously been questioned, possibly having been misidentified with the A. m. intermissa).[1]
  • Apis mellifera scutellata, classified by Lepeletier, 1836 (the East African lowland honey bee) found in central and east Africa; also as hybridized populations in South America, Central America and the southern USA. In an effort to address concerns by Brazilian beekeepers and to increase honey production in Brazil, Warwick Kerr, a Brazilian geneticist, was asked by Brazilian federal and state authorities in 1956 to import several East African lowland queens from Tanzania to Piracicaba, São Paulo State in southern Brazil. Due to a mishap, some of the queens escaped. The East African lowland queens' virgin daughters mated with local European honey bee drones and produced what is now known as the Africanized honey bee in South and North America. The intense struggle for survival of western honey bees in Sub-Saharan Africa is given as the reason that this subspecies is proactive in defending the hive and also more likely to abandon an existing hive and abscond to a more secure location. They direct more of their energies to defensive behaviors and less of their energies to honey storage. East African lowland honey bees are leather-colored and difficult to distinguish by eye from the darker strains of the Italian honey bee.[5]
  • Apis mellifera simensis, classified by Meixner, Leta, Koeniger and Fuchs, 2011 (the Ethiopian honey bee) found in Ethiopia.[6]
  • Apis mellifera unicolor, classified by Latreille, 1804 (the Madagascan honey bee) endemic to the island of Madagascar.[7]
