Abstract
The article presents the results of a study on the analysis of the subspecies belonging of bee colonies from two apiaries in the Muradymov Gorge Nature Park using nine microsatellite loci of nuclear DNA and the intergenic locus COI-COII of mitochondrial DNA. As a result, it was found that only one family descends on the maternal line from the evolutionary branch M (to which the subspecies dark forest, or Central Russian, bee Apis mellifera mellifera belongs), the remaining families descend from the branch C (includes subspecies A. M. carnica, A. m. ligustica, A. caucasica). The analysis of microsatellite loci of nuclear DNA showed that all families have a hybrid origin or belong to subspecies from the evolutionary branch of C.
