Male fitness of honeybee colonies (Apis mellifera L.).

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2003

Kraus F B, Neumann P, Scharpenberg H, van Praagh J, Moritz R F A

Abstract excerpt

Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) have an extreme polyandrous mating system. Worker offspring of 19 naturally mated queens was genotyped with DNA microsatellites, to estimate male reproductive success of 16 drone producing colonies. This allowed for estimating the male mating success on both the colo...
