Abstract excerpt
Various stocks of honey bees (Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae)) employ multiple mechanisms to control varroa mite (Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (Mesostigmata: Varroidae)) infestations. Identification of trait-associated genes and markers can improve efficiency of selective breeding. Dopamine receptors show promise in this regard in their association with numerous traits in honey bees, high...
