The intense admixture of honey bee ( Apis mellifera L.) populations at a global scale is mostly attributed to the widespread migratory beekeeping practices and replacement queens colonies with non-native races or hybrids different subspecies. These are also common in Anatolia Thrace, but their influence on genetic make-up five native subspecies bees has not been explored. Here, we present an analysis 30 microsatellite markers from six regions Thrace N = 250 samples), aim comparing impact of:...

Abstract Intense admixture of honey bee ( Apis mellifera L.) populations is mostly attributed to migratory beekeeping practices and replacement queens colonies with non-native races or hybrids different subspecies. These two are also heavily carried out in Anatolia Thrace where 5 subspecies reside naturally. Here, we an analysis population structure bees sampled from six regions (n = 250) order test the genetic impacts beekeeping, queen colony trade conservation efficacy isolated regions. A...

The honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) is a globally significant species of apparent economic and ecological importance. Recent reports from Spain, Italy Greece point to an intense admixture populations signified by loss population structure. This mostly attributed migratory beekeeping practices replacement queens or colonies with commercial ones that are usually non-native races hybrids different subspecies. These two also heavily carried out in parts Turkey where almost three-quarters the 6...

Abstract Background Honey bees are the principal commercial pollinators. Along with other arthropods, they increasingly under threat from anthropogenic factors such as incursion of invasive honey bee subspecies, pathogens and parasites. Better tools needed to identify subspecies. Genomic data for economic ecologically important organisms is increasing, but in its basic form practical application address ecological problems limited. Results We introduce HBeeID a means bees. The tool utilizes...
