In this paper we test the following two hypotheses: (1) that apparently conspecific samples of the cleptoparasitic bee Coelioxys funeraria, differing markedly in size and reared from different host species, do indeed represent one panmictic population; (2) that bees that nest in holes in wood or twigs have higher levels of genetic variation than those nesting in the ground. Based upon 41 loci, the genetic...
