The origin of the western honey bee Apis mellifera has been intensely debated. Addressing
this knowledge gap is essential for understanding the evolution and genetics of one of the …

Western honey bees (Apis mellifera) are one of the most important pollinators of agricultural
crops and wild plants. Despite the growth in the availability of sequence data for honey …

The genetic diversity of the USA honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations was examined
through a molecular approach using two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) markers. A total of …

The diversity of endemic honeybee subspecies and ecotypes is at risk in Europe because
modern apiculture promotes only a small number of honeybee strains. A crucial step for the …

In 2019, a joint eight-variant model was published in which eight single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven Apis mellifera genes were associated with Varroa …

Wing geometric morphometrics has been applied to honey bees (Apis mellifera) in
identification of evolutionary lineages or subspecies and, to a lesser extent, in assessing …

Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are important for agriculture and ecosystems; however, they
are threatened by the changing climate. In order to adapt and respond to emerging …

Honey can be produced by different species of honeybees, with two being of economic
importance due to their use in apiculture, namely Apis mellifera (known as European …

Honey contains intrinsic markers that can be used to identify its origin. In this study, we used
the honey as source of honey bee DNA and developed a test to detect the entomological …

Simple Summary In Europe, a well-known threat to the conservation of honeybee diversity is
the loss of genetic uniqueness of local populations due to beekeepers' preference for a few …
