''Apis nigrocincta'' is a species of honey bee that inhabits the Philippine island of Mindanao as well as the Indonesian islands of Sangihe and the Celebes or Sulawesi. The species is known to have queens with high mating frequencies, the most of any species of the tribe ''Apini''.〔 It is a middle-sized species of the tribe'' Apini'', compared to the larger ''A. dorsata'' or smaller ''A. florea''. There is little known about the biogeography of the species, only that it is found in parts of Indonesia and the Philippines. ''A. nigrocincta'' is suggested to have been derived from China, as it shares similar morphologies with ''A. cerana'' from the mainland than with ''A. cerana'' from the southwest. It is also stipulated that a proto-''nigrocincta'' may have come from Borneo during the Quaternary glaciation. ==Taxonomy and Phylogeny== ''Apis nigrocincta'' is part of subfamily ''Apinae'' within the Hymenopteran family ''Apidae''. ''Apidae'' is the largest family of bees consisting of over 5,600 species, with the only bees that are colonized by humans for honey production. The subfamily ''Apinae'' includes a majority of the honey bee species, with 19 tribes; ''A. nigrocincta'' is part of ''Apini.'' Unlike the stingless honeybees of genus ''Meliponini'', ''A. nigrocincta'' is part of the genus Apis of true honeybees. The genus ''Apis'' is split into three major lineages – dwarf, giant, and cavity-nesting honeybees. ''Apis nigrocincta'' is a cavity-nesting species and is most related to ''Apis cerana'', ''Apis koschevnikovi'', and ''Apis nuluensis''.〔
