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 builds nests in cavities like the closely related Apis cerana. In fact, there are few substantial differences between the two species: the genitals of the respective drones, for instance, are identical.

- 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 builds nests in cavities like the closely related Apis cerana. In fact, there are few substantial differences between the two species: the genitals of the respective drones, for instance, are identical. However, there are small morphological differences, genetic polymorphism in the mitochondrial DNA, as well as behavioral differences. In areas where the A. cerana and A. nigrocincta live together, they can most immediately be distinguished by their coloration and size: A. cerana tends to be darker and smaller, while A. nigrocincta tends to be larger and have a yellowish clypeus (the lower area of the face). They can best (reliably) be differentiated using morphometrics, which can also be used to identify morphologically distinct populations in both species. The architecture of the colonies is also a point of difference: the opening of the drone cell of A. cerana is covered in wax, under which there is a conical cocoon with a central hole or pore. In A. nigrocincta, however, the cell of the drone has a narrow opening, without a hard wax cap and hole. In addition, the queens of A. nigrocincta generally create colonies with greater numbers of drones than those of A. cerana. Another noticeable behavioral difference between the species is the time of day at which they prefer to gather pollen. A. nigrocincta contracts the parasite-caused honey bee disease Varroatosis by playing host to the species of Varroa mite known as Varroa underwoodi. In this way, they are similar to Apis cerana nuluensis, which is also susceptible to the same species of parasite.
- Apis nigrocincta ist eine der neun Arten Honigbienen. Apis nigrocincta kommen vor auf den Inseln Mindanao und Sangihe der Philippinen und der Insel Sulawesi in Indonesien. Wie die nahe verwandte Art Apis cerana baut Apis nigrocincta ihre Nester in Höhlen. Zwischen dem nahe Verwandten Arten gibt es feine Unterschiede in der Morphologie, und in den Genen von Zellkern und Mitochondrien sowie im Verhalten. In Gebieten in denen A. cerana und A. nigrocincta zusammen leben, können sie durch Farbe und Größe unterschieden werde: A. cerana ist verhältnismäßig dunkler und kleiner, während A. nigrocincta eher größer ist und eine gelbliche Clypeus (Stirnplatte) hat. Auch die Form der Waben unterscheiden sich: Die Öffnung der Drohnenzellen A. cerana ist mit einem Wachsdeckel verschlossen. In dem Stock von A. nigrocincta, dagegen hat die Drohnenzelle eine Öffnung ohne eine Wachskappe. Königinnen von A. nigrocincta legen auch mehr Drohneneier als Königinnen von A. cerana. Die beiden Species bevorzugen auch verschiedene Zeiten zum Sammeln von Pollen. A. nigrocincta wird ebenfalls von der Varroamilbe befallen.
