“…For K = 2, these A. m. caucasia bees are considered as having the same genetic background as the A. m. ligustica and A. m. carnica samples, also reflecting the results from the PCA (figure 2, supplementary figure 19). Our results support the assumption that A. m. caucasia bees are assigned to the O lineage by morphometry 22/10/2021 17:15:00 and to the C lineage by mtDNA [57]. Some admixture can be observed for a small proportion of the reference samples.…”

Honey bee subspecies originate from specific geographic areas in Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The interest of beekeepers in specific phenotypes has led them to import subspecies to regions outside of their original range. The resulting admixture complicates population genetics analyses and populations stratification can be a major problem for association studies. As a typical example, the case of the French population is studied here. We sequenced 870 haploid drones for SNP detection and identified nine genetic backgrounds in 629 samples. Five correspond to subspecies, two to isolated populations and two to human-mediated population management. We also highlight several large haplotype blocks, some of which coinciding with the position of centromeres. The largest is 3.6 Mb long on chromosome 11, representing 1.6 % of the genome and has two major haplotypes, corresponding to the two dominant genetic background identified.

“…Interestingly, the pattern observed when considering only K = 3 genetic backgrounds, recapitulates the general pattern observed in the PCAs, in which the reference populations separate into three groups. These groups [57]. Some admixture can be observed for a small proportion of the reference samples.…”

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 discrimination methods. There are a lot of transition zones between ranges of subspecies which led to the gradual changes of characteristics among neighbor subspecies. The modern taxonomic pattern of honey bee Apis mellifera is given in this paper. Thirty-three distinct honey bee subspecies are distributed across all Africa (11 subspecies), Western Asia and the Middle East (9 subspecies), and Europe (13 subspecies). All honey bee subspecies are subdivided into 5 evolutionary lineages: lineage A (10 subspecies) and its sublineage Z (3 subspecies), lineage M (3 subspecies), lineage C (10 subspecies), lineage O (3 subspecies), lineage Y (1 subspecies), lineage C or O (3 subspecies).

“…Earlier studies of A. m. carpatica were based on wing size and the cubital index (which is a ratio of two wing vein lengths of the cubital cell) [39,40]. Later, it was investigated on the basis of mitochondrial DNA [41][42][43], microsatelites [44] and single-nucleotide polymorphism [45]. A. m. carpatica belongs to Lineage C [2,42,46], and it can be identified using molecular methods [45,47].…”

Historical Changes in Honey Bee Wing Venation in Romania

The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is an ecologically and economically important species that provides pollination services to natural and agricultural systems. The biodiversity of the honey bee is being endangered by the mass import of non-native queens. In many locations, it is not clear how the local populations have been affected by hybridisation between native and non-native bees. There is especially little information about temporal changes in hybridisation. In Romania, A. m. carpatica naturally occurs, and earlier studies show that there are two subpopulations separated by the Carpathian Mountains. In this study, we investigated how the arrangement of veins in bees’ wings (venation) has changed in Romanian honey bees in the last four decades. We found that in the contemporary population of Romanian bees, there are still clear differences between the intra- and extra-Carpathian subpopulations, which indicates that natural variation among honey bees is still being preserved. We also found significant differences between bees collected before and after 2000. The observed temporal changes in wing venation are most likely caused by hybridisation between native bees and non-native bees sporadically introduced by beekeepers. In order to facilitate conservation and the monitoring of native Romanian bees, we developed a method facilitating their identification.
