Abstract excerpt
Genomic selection has increased genetic gain in several livestock species, but due to the complicated genetics and reproduction biology not yet in honey bees. Recently, 2970 queens were genotyped to gather a reference population. For the application of genomic selection in honey bees, this study analyzes the accuracy and bias of pedigree-based and genomic breeding values for honey yield, three workability traits,...
