Genetic diversity affects colony survivorship in commercial honey bee colonies.

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Aug 2013

Tarpy David R, Vanengelsdorp Dennis, Pettis Jeffrey S

Abstract excerpt

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) queens mate with unusually high numbers of males (average of approximately 12 drones), although there is much variation among queens. One main consequence of such extreme polyandry is an increased diversity of worker genotypes within a colony, which has been shown empirically to confer significant adaptive advantages that result in higher colony productivity and survival. Moreover,...
