ENVS 2210 Midterm 1) What is the latin name for the Western honey Bee, of Europe and Africa? What does it mean? 2) What did Linnaeus try to rename it to? Why did he fail? 3) Why is the term mellifera inaccurate? - correct ans-1) Apis mellifera L., 1758 (scientific name in italics or underlined); 'honey-carrying bee', Linnaeus named it, 1758 was the year Linnaeus assigned this name 2) Apis mellifica, 'the honey-making bee' in 1761 (but rules of classification do not allow this-can change the genus but not the species) 3) means 'honey-carrying' and bees don't carry honey (they collect nectar) 1) To which kingdom do honeybees belong? Why? 2) To which phylum do honeybees belong? Explain traits of this phylum. 3) Examples of other arthropoda?* - correct ans-1) animalia (they are multicellular and motile) 2) arthropoda (have an exoskeleton, segmented body, paired segmented appendages, one pair of segmented antennae, usually 1-2 pairs of wings) 3) lobsters, crabs, insects, ticks, and mites
