[edit] Apis dorsata

Hi. There have been a number of publications that have failed to recognize that laboriosa was classified as a subspecies in 1999, and no one has published a newer classification of the genus Apis since that revision. Therefore, the present classification still treats it as a subspecies. Since molecular geneticists do not recognize subspecies, they treat laboriosa as if it were a species, ignoring the formal classification that the rest of the scientific community recognizes. I suspect that it is papers by geneticists that you have seen, and - as such - they do not represent the accepted taxonomy. In essence, according to the geneticists, there are over 50 species of honeybees, where everyone else recognizes only 7. Wikipedia does not generally follow "revolutionary" schemes such as this until they attain a significant level of acceptance outside of their proponents. Please do NOT make any changes to the classification on any of the honey bee pages until and unless a new revision of all the species in the genus appears in print.
