“…The dark forest, Central Russian, or dark European bee is an indigenous subspecies of the honey bee of the western and northern regions of Europe and Russia, evolutionarily formed in forest conditions. Currently, this honey bee subspecies has been preserved mainly in the Southern Urals, Western Siberia and the central part of Russia, forming local populations named by territorial affiliation: Altai, Arkhangelsk, Vladimir, Bashkir (Ilyasov et al 2021;Petrov 1980;Petrov 2004). Historically, the natural and climatic zone of the Ural and Bashkortostan has been distinguished by severe winters, a rich species composition of honey plants, and an abundance of linden forests, in connection with which the bees of the republic were singled out as a special Bashkir population of the dark European bee (Shafikov and Avetisyan 1976;Shafikov 1978;Abdulov and Shafikov 2004;Shafikov and Baimuratov 2002).…”

Phenetic analysis of honey bee population of the Toratau Geopark (Russia) was performed. Over than 1000 worker and 1000 drone bee samples were collected from 250 colonies in 59 apiaries on the territory of the Toratau Geopark (Gafuriysky, Ishimbaysky, Meleuzovsky, and Sterlitamaksky districts of the Republic of Bashkortostan). Six phenes in worker bees and four phenes in drone bees were recognized. The worker bee phenes E, 1R, 2R, 3R, and drone bee phenes Is, II, O-gray, which characterize the C-lineage honey bee subspecies, were predominant in honey bee population of the Toratau Geopark. This is probably an indicator of introgressive hybridization of local Dark European honey bees with introduced honey bee subspecies from C-lineage. The worker and drone bee phenes can be used as tools for quick preliminary evaluation of certain honey bee colonies for further selection.
