Nearly all the species of the third tribe, Xylocopinii, nest in wood or stems, excavating their own burrows or taking advantage of burrows made by previous generations.
The subfamily Apinae differs from all other bees in that the pollen brush, which is restricted to the hind leg, is reduced to a row of long hairs surrounding a smooth space on the tibia.
The fourth and last tribe of Apinae contains only the genus Apis, the true honey bees, which consists of about five species, all of which are eusocial.

 An Annotated Catalogue of the Bee Species of the Indian Region-Apidae
Rozen (2001) published a taxonomic key to mature larvae of cleptoparasitc bees and in 2000 he presented pupal descriptions of some cleptoparasitic bees included in Apidae.
Michener (2000 p.571) stated 'great diversity of the subfamily Apinae is an invitation to those who would like to subdivide it into several subfamilies, but it is not clear how such subdivision should be done.
Biology and immature stages of the tribe Tetrapediini (Rozen, 2002) and oocyte, eggs and ovarioles of some long tongued bees described by Rozen (2003) are some of the recentmost important references, one should consult.

 Guardian | Mrs Clinton needs a flaw
As a rule, the only buzz in the quiet little seaside village in the Hamptons, Long Island, where I spend weekends, is from the subfamily Apinae: bees to you.
This weekend the Apinae were buzzed out by the rising excitement concerning the slim queen bee of the Clinton family.
Hadn't I heard she was coming in a couple of weeks and we could all have a summer lunch with Hillary for $1,000 a plate?

The Cunha and Kerr hypothesis (female determining genes are totally or partially additive and male determination is totally or partially nonadditive) explains all known cases.
Sex determination in social bees led to the gradual evolution of two systems of caste determination: one in which queens and workers are similar and males are very different (Apinae), and another in which workers and males are very similar and both very different from the queens (Meliponinae).
Systems of caste determination in the Apinae, Meliponinae and Bombinae and their phylogenetical implications.

Stingless bees, Meliponinae, and honeybees, Apinae, are the only highly social bees living in permanent colonies, and both share many biological characteristics.
There are two groups of highly eusocial insects in the world: Apinae bees and Meliponinae bees.
The former group (Apinae) consists of less than 10 species including the Western honeybee, Apis mellifera, and the Oriental honeybee, A. cerana, both of which are well-known as beekeeping species.

Various molecular approaches used in the laboratory for honey bee population analysis and intra-specific taxonomy have proven applicable also to population level investigations of the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Ceratitis capitata) and Colorado Potato Beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata).
Currently, systematic studies are underway within the Apinae, Meliponinae and the homopteran family Cicadellidae based on morphology and mitochondrial/nuclear DNA sequences.
