Abstract
We shall show that a completely regular semigroup is in the semigroup variety generated by the bicyclic semigroup if and only if it is an orthogroup whose maximal subgroups are abelian. Therefore the lattice of subvarieties of the variety generated by the bicyclic semigroup contains as a sublattice a countably infinite distributive lattice of semigroup varieties, each of which consists of orthogroups with maximal subgroups that are torsion abelian groups. In particular, every band divides a power of the bicyclic semigroup.
