Population Genomics Reveals Genetic Diversity, Introgression, and Genetic Differentiation in Tianshan Mountains Western Honeybees (Apis mellifera) [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsThe Tianshan Mountains, which host two native subspecies of western honeybees, represent the easternmost natural distribution limit of Apis mellifera. The managed Xinjiang black honeybee (XJ), introduced a century ago and designated as a Chinese National

Dataset of wing venation measurements for Apis mellifera caucasica, A. mellifera carnica and A. mellifera mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae), their hybrids and backcrosses [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020 Wing venation is used as a tool in honeybee (Apis mellifera L., 1758) subspecies identification. The presented dataset concerns nineteen landmarks located at honeybee worker's forewing vein junctions. Landmarks of Apis mellifera caucasica Pollmann, 1889, A. mellifera carnica Pollmann, 1879 and A.

Enantioselectivity of odor perception in honeybees (Apis mellifera carnica). [PDF]
Behavioral Neuroscience, 2001 The authors tested the ability of 60 free-flying honeybees (Apis mellifera carnica) to discriminate a conditioning odor from an array of 26 simultaneously presented substances. The stimuli included 10 pairs of enantiomers and 6 essential oils. The bees (a) significantly distinguished between 98% of the 540 odor pairs tested, thus showing an excellent ...

Molecular characterisation of indigenous Apis mellifera carnica in Slovenia [PDF]
Apidologie, 2004 The genetic structure of Apis mellifera carnica bee from Slovenia, collected from 269 localities of ten Slovenian districts, was assessed by mitochondrial and nuclear DNA analyses. The level of genetic variability within and among districts was low.
