2011 journal article

Experimentally induced variation in the physical reproductive potential and mating success in honey bee queens

INSECTES SOCIAUX, 58(4), 569–574.

By: D. Tarpy n , J. Keller n, J. Caren n & D. Delaney *

author keywords: Honey bees; Queen reproductive quality; Mating behavior
TL;DR: It is shown, for the first time, that low-quality queens mate with significantly fewer males, which significantly influences the resultant intracolony genetic diversity of the worker force of their future colonies. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 journal article

Mating frequencies of Africanized honey bees in the south western USA

JOURNAL OF APICULTURAL RESEARCH, 49(4), 302–310.

By: D. Tarpy n , J. Caren n, D. Delaney n, D. Sammataro*, J. Finley*, G. Loper*, G. DeGrandi-Hoffman *

author keywords: paternity analysis; genotyping; social insects; polyandry; microsatellites; Africanized honey bees
TL;DR: Though Africanized honey bee colonies are among the most genetically diverse Apis mellifera yet recorded, their queen mating frequencies are within the expected range of the species overall, including African honey bees in their native range. (via Semantic Scholar)

2010 journal article

The physical, insemination, and reproductive quality of honey bee queens (Apis mellifera L.)

APIDOLOGIE, 42(1), 1–13.

By: D. Delaney n, J. Keller n, J. Caren n & D. Tarpy n 

author keywords: honey bee queens; reproductive potential; insemination; parasitism; effective mating frequency
TL;DR: Significant variation is found in the physical, insemination, and mating quality of commercially produced queens, and significant correlations are detected within and among these various measures. (via Semantic Scholar)
