Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of individuals from 79 colonies of Apis mellifera from five Canary Islands was studied using the DraI test based on the restriction of PCR products of the tRNA(leu)-COII intergenic region. Five haplotypes of the African (A) lineage and one of the west European (C) li...
