Genetic variation in natural honeybee populations, Apis mellifera capensis.

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Sept 2004

Hepburn Randall, Neumann Peter, Radloff Sarah E

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variation in honeybee, Apis mellifera, populations can be considerably influenced by breeding and commercial introductions, especially in areas with abundant beekeeping. However, in southern Africa apiculture is based on the capture of wild swarms, and queen rearing is virtually absent. Moreover, the introduction of European subspecies constantly failed in the Cape region. We therefore hypothesize a low...
