Question

Apis is a generic name of
A. A fish
B. Lac insect
C. Honey bee
D. Prawn

Answer 1

Hint:
As central-place foragers who may forage up to a few kilometers from their hive, honeybees (Apis mellifera) are an excellent model species for research on central-place forager navigation. The nine other species of Apis are only found in Asia, whereas the honeybee Apis mellifera has a native range that includes Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Honey is the sustenance that honeybees stockpile in order to survive the winter. There are fewer flowers from which to gather nectar during the coldest season, and honey bees are unable to forage. One of the largest species of bees is Apis dorsata. A. dorsata exhibits a great deal of racial variation in coloration, which is connected to distribution like in other honey bee species.

Complete answer:
Apis dorsta, Apis indica, Apis florea, and Apis mellifera are the four honey bee species that have been identified. The generic name for honey bees is Apis. In Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the western honey bee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus, natively inhabits these regions. There are at least 20 known subspecies (or races) of this species, none of which are endemic to the Americas.
So, the Apis is a generic name of Honey bee.

Option ‘C’ is correct

Note:
A species of honey bee that is indigenous to South, Southeast, and East Asia is called Apis cerana, often known as the eastern honey bee, Asiatic honey bee, or Asian honey bee. In most of Asia, Apis cerana Fabricius is an indigenous species that has long been utilised for pollination and honey production.
As stinging bees, they will sting if provoked. A person allergic to other bees may get anaphylaxis after being stung by an Asian honey bee. They can face competition for food and nesting spaces from native animals as well as European honey bees. They serve as the varroa mites' natural hosts.
