Abstract

The genetic structure of honeybee populations from the southern part of Bashkortostan was assessed based on an analysis of mtDNA (COI-COII locus) and five nuclear DNA microsatellite loci (Ap243, 4A110, A8, A113, and A28). The data indicate that the examined populations experience a deficit of heterozygotes despite intense interpedigree hybridization. It is suggested that there is a boundary between the population of Apis mellifera mellifera L. and the hybrid zone in the examined region.
