The taxonomy of honey bee A. mellifera contains a lot of issues due to the specificity of
population structure, features of biology and resolutions of honey bee subspecies …

The natural diversity of honey bees in Europe is eroding fast. A multitude of reasons lead to
a loss of both genetic diversity and specific adaptations to local conditions. To preserve …

▪ Abstract The African honey bee subspecies Apis mellifera scutellata has colonized much of
the Americas in less than 50 years and has largely replaced European bees throughout its …

We have studied mitochondrial (mt) DNA variation in 334 honey bee colonies from 7
different geographic regions of Turkey. We have evaluated Dra I restriction profiles of the CO …

IN the Neotropics, introduced European honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) 1, 2 have been
largely supplanted by bees descended from an African race, A. m. scutellata Lepetier, which …

New discriminant analysis procedures have been presented to identify Africanized and
European honey bees. These procedures are founded on data from 2 103 samples of honey …

Mitochondrial genotypes of Africanized honeybees from Brazil and Uruguay were surveyed
by DraI restriction of the COI–COII region. Eleven mitotypes were found, three of which had …

In 1956, honey bees of the African subspecies A. m. scutellata were imported to Brazil, and
their descendents subsequently spread to South, Central, and North America. This invasion …

Though the replacement of European bees by Africanized honey bees in tropical America
has attracted considerable attention, little is known about the temporal changes in …

Simple Summary The loss of honey bees poses a significant problem for the beekeeping
industry. Opportunities to recover the stock of honey bees are crucial in areas with drastic …
