Comparison of microsatellite DNA diversity among commercial queen breeder stocks of Italian honey bees in the United States and Italy

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Declines in the numbers of breeder honey bee queens and the concomitant loss of genetic diversity could potentially result in inbreeding, and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases. Genetic diversity of commercial Italian bee colonies in the United States and Italy was assessed using six variable microsatellite DNA loci. Worker bees were sampled from colonies of queen breeders in both countries (USA, n = 1...
