When Carl Linnaeus first devised his taxanomic system he started with three major kingdoms, Animals, Plants, and Minerals. We dropped the minerals kingdom a long time ago, but we still have the other two: Animalia and Plantae. All living things will fall into one or other of these kingdoms.
Kingdoms are divided into a number of Phylums, Phylums divided into a number of Classes, and on through Order, Family, and Genus. In more recent years, Subkingdom, Subphylum, Subclass, and others have been added.
So, the full taxonomy of a domestic cat is
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Subkingdom: Eumetazoa
- Phylum: Chordata
- Subphylum: Vertebrata
- Class: Mammalia
- Subclass: Theria
- Order: Carnivora
- Suborder: Feliformia
- Family: Felidae
- Subfamily: Felinae
- Genus: Felis
- Species: Catus
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Phylum: Arthropoda
- Class: Insecta
- Infraclass: Neoptera
- Superorder: Endopterygota
- Order: Hymenoptera
- Suborder: Apocrita
- Family: Apidae
- Subfamily: Apinae
- Tribe: Apini
- Genus: Apis
- Species: Mellifera
The cat and bee are both classified in the kingdom "animalia" simply for the fact that they are both multicellular Eukaryota organisms.
Cats and honey bees belong to the same kingdom, Animalia, because they are both multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms. Despite their differences in behavior and physiology, they share fundamental characteristics that place them within the Animalia kingdom.

Does the male or female honey bee eat first?
Male honey bees (drones) do not consume nectar or pollen like female worker bees do. They rely on worker bees to provide them with food.
Is the decline of honey bees a greater problem than global warming?
Both the decline of honey bees and global warming are significant environmental issues that require urgent attention. Each has unique impacts on ecosystems and human livelihoods, so it may not be useful to compare them in terms of importance. Both issues need to be addressed through collective efforts to ensure a sustainable future for our planet.
What type of mouthparts do honey bees have?
Honey bees have chewing mouthparts called mandibles, which are used to help them gather pollen and nectar from flowers. They also have a long proboscis that serves as a tongue for sucking up nectar from flowers.
What is the best type of clover for honey bees?
Red clover (Trifolium pratense) is a popular choice for honey bees due to its abundant nectar production and extended blooming period. White clover (Trifolium repens) is also a good option as it provides a good nectar flow and is commonly found in many regions. Both types of clover are well-loved by honey bees and can help support their foraging needs.
Are a badger and honey guide bird buddies?
Badgers and honey guide birds have been observed working together to find food, such as honey. However, it is not accurate to say they are buddies since their relationship is based on mutual benefit rather than friendship or companionship. The badger relies on the honey guide bird to locate beehives, while the bird benefits from the badger's ability to break open the hive.
How are honey and wax related?
They are both produced by bees.
Why are the honey bees and silkworm important?
Both are economically significant insects. Honey bees are also important pollinators of many plants.
Is a honeybee a chewer or a sucker?
It is both. Honey bees have both chewing and sucking mouthparts.
When is a bee not a bee?
A bumble bee is a bee -- just a different sort of bee.Bumble bees do collect nectar and make honey, but not in large enough quantities to make it worth harvesting.However bumble bees are excellent Pollinators, so bumble Bees can be worth keeping. Farmers will pay you money to lend them your hives for the season so that the bumble bees pollinate their crops.
Person who raises bees?
A person who raises bees is known as a beekeeper or an apiarist. They are responsible for managing bee colonies, extracting honey, and promoting the health and well-being of the bees. Beekeepers play a vital role in both honey production and the pollination of crops.
How are scienctists helping honey bees?
By figuring out what is killing them. Probably pesticides or mites, or both.
What kind of bee makes a nest like a hornet?
Yes. Some hornets and some wasps do indeed make honey. However, the honey made by wasps is not consumed by humans.
Does the male or female honey bee eat first?
Male honey bees (drones) do not consume nectar or pollen like female worker bees do. They rely on worker bees to provide them with food.
What do bees use to make their combs?
Honey combs are made of wax; both the honey and the wax are ultimately made from the nectar and the pollen that bees collect from flowers.
What does the honey bee and the killer bee have in common?
A "killer bee" IS a honey bee- they are both Apis mellifera, the European honey bee. The difference with killer bees, otherwise known as Africanized honey bees, is that they are hybridized with African honey bees. The hybrid produced is normal in most regards, except that when their hive is threatened they respond in much greater numbers and with more ferocity. With regular honey bees, the response to a threat is dependent on the severity; if you stand outside a beehive and knock on it, you may only get stung a few times or not at all. With Africanized honey bees, however, they are more likely to swarm and attack. Otherwise, besides a few minor differences in nest structure and appearance, they are the same.
What bees dont sting?
Wasps,hornets, honey-bees, bumble bees, killer bees.Only the females (queen and workers) can sting, the males (drones) can't.
What is the difference between bumble bees and the queen bee?
Honey bees are social insects and live in groups of a few tens of thousands, bumble bees live in small groups or even alone. Although both species make honey, only honey bees store a surplus for times when nectar is not available. Bumble bees make at most around a tablespoonful of honey. Honey bees remain active over winter, though they won't leave the hive if it is too cold or wet. Young bumble bee queens seek out a sheltered place in which to hibernate, and the other bumble bees die when winter comes.
