Africanization in the United States: replacement of feral European honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) by an African hybrid swarm.

Genetics - 1 Aug 2005

Pinto M Alice, Rubink William L, Patton John C, Coulson Robert N, Johnston J Spencer

Abstract excerpt

The expansion of Africanized honeybees from South America to the southwestern United States in <50 years is considered one of the most spectacular biological invasions yet documented. In the American tropics, it has been shown that during their expansion Africanized honeybees have low levels of introgressed alleles from resident European populations. In the United States, it has been speculated, but not shown,...
