Reduced SNP panels for genetic identification and introgression analysis in the dark honey bee (Apis mellifera mellifera). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Beekeeping activities, especially queen trading, have shaped the distribution of honey bee (Apis mellifera) subspecies in Europe, and have resulted in extensive introductions of two eastern European C-lineage subspecies (A. m. ligustica and A. m. carnica)

The mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis (Hymenoptera: Apidae), an Ethiopian honey bee
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 The complete mitochondrial genome of Apis mellifera simensis was 16,523 bp long. The 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNAs, and 22 tRNAs resembled other Apis mitogenomes. The location of this Apis subspecies in our phylogenetic tree supported the hypothesis

Genetic integrity of the Dark European honey bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) from protected populations: a genome-wide assessment using SNPs and mtDNA sequence data [PDF]
, 2014 The recognition that the Dark European honey bee, Apis mellifera mellifera, is increasingly threatened in its native range has led to the establishment of conservation programmes and protected areas throughout western Europe.
