“…According to the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analyses, these subspecies were grouped in the C branch (Smith et al, 1997;Franck et al, 2000;Palmer et al, 2000;Ozdil et al, 2009). In addition, Apis mellifera carnica which is a member of C branch was seen in Thracian (Palmer et al, 2000), Apis mellifera syriaca which is a member of the branch O is seen near the Syrian border of Hatay (Kandemir et al, 2006a). In line with these studies, it is reported that Turkey hosts both the member of branch C and O.…”

“…It was found that Apis mellifera meda exist in the southeast part of Turkey (Ruttner, 1988;Kandemir et al, 2000;Güler and Bek, 2002;Kekeçoğlu et al, 2009;Kekeçoğlu and Soysal, 2010;Bouga et al, 2011;Özbakır, 2011;Koca and Kandemir, 2013;Kambur and Kekeçoğlu, 2018a;2018b). Apis mellifera syriaca was in Hatay near the Syrian border of Turkey (Kandemir et al 2006a). Özbakır (2011) compared the samples collected from Syria and Iran and Turkey's provinces (Hatay, Urfa and Mardin) in southern Turkey and reported that the samples collected from these provinces overlap with the Syrian samples (Apis mellifera syriaca).…”

This study was conducted through the geometric morphometric method by making a sampling as to represent seven geographical regions of Turkey and also all honeybee races that are reported to be found in Turkey. Nineteen landmarks on the wings of bees detected by using right front wings of worker bees were measured by the Bs200Pro program. According to the results of discriminant function analysis based on individual data, the true classification rate was found to be 54.1%. While the Marmara, Aegean, Eastern Anatolia and Black Sea Regions formed a strictly single group, the Southeastern Anatolia Region distinctly separated from other regions. The honey bee population of eastern and western parts of the Mediterranean Sea were divided into two, while the western part formed close groups with other regions, the eastern part got closer to the Southeastern Anatolia Region. The group center of the Central Anatolia Region partly separated from the other regions and formed a group at the edge. Beside the split of the Mediterranean Region as East and West, the samples taken from Southeastern Anatolian Region create a separate group supported the existence of Apis mellifera syriaca and Apis mellifera meda races in the South. The separation of the Central Anatolia Region supports the existence of Apis mellifera anatoliaca in Central Anatolia of Turkey. However, the examples taken from other regions nested together to create a group show that the honey bee biodiversity in Turkey has been affected by the migratory beekeeping and commercial queenbee activities in recent years.

“…But, after statistical analyses, some of these subspecies clustered in different groups from those described geographically; the Syrian honeybee clustered with the African group. This has created some confusion between the subspecies names based on geographical location and the Oriental morphometrical lineage O that was also described by Ruttner (this confusion is discussed in Kandemir et al (2006)). …”

“…Based upon 75 Lebanese honeybee samples and only a few Syrian samples, Franck et al (2000) suggested that these populations could belong to the fourth lineage (O), as the mtDNA sequence structures of these samples differed sufficiently from the three other described lineages (A, C, and M). On the other hand, Kandemir et al (2006) expressed concern that designating this distinct mitochondrial lineage as "O" may cause confusion with the O morphological lineage described by Ruttner (1988). However, using a large number of single-nucleotide polymorphism markers, Whitfield et al (2006) sorted the four honeybee evolutionary lineages and, based on nine Syrian honeybee samples, placed Syrian bees in the Oriental branch O along with the anatoliaca, pomonella, and caucasica subspecies.…”

Mitochondrial structure of Eastern honeybee populations from Syria, Lebanon and Iraq

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) from Syria (n=1,624), Lebanon (n=177), and Iraq (n=35) were collected for genetic analysis. These samples were analyzed by the cleaved amplified polymorphisms technique using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as a molecular marker in their COI-COII intergenic region (Cytochrome Oxidase I and II). Polymerase chain reaction amplicons (500-950 bp) were subjected to restriction analysis by DraI enzyme. The restriction profiles were analyzed and compared with the existing mtDNA markers on polyacrylamide gels. Sixteen new haplotypes were identified, 14 of them on the African lineage A, one new haplotype on the North Mediterranean lineage C and one other on the West Mediterranean lineage M. DNA sequences of all these haplotypes were subsequently determined. We also identified five other haplotypes that had been described in a previous study. These five haplotypes were renamed and grouped more appropriately with the subgroup Z, rather than with the Oriental lineage O. The sequence structures of these novel haplotypes clearly display the specific characteristics of the African branch (A). However, they differ from the African haplotypes by a new restriction site; therefore, they have been moved into a new subgroup. We conclude that A. mellifera syriaca subspecies does not belong to the Oriental lineage O, but is situated geographically in an area of contact between the A and O lineages.Apis mellifera syriaca / CAPS / haplotype / honeybee / intergenic region COI-COII / Cyt b / mtDNA

“…The different molecular markers that have been used to study the genetic diversity of A. mellifera have provided a more precise tool than classical morphometrical studies, enabling the transition to molecular analyses. Moreover, molecular markers have facilitated more robust assessments of honeybee diversity, such as the reclassification of North African subspecies (A. m. intermissa and A. m. sahariensis) into the African branch instead of the West European branch [8], and the delimitation of different lineages in the Middle East [12][13][14].…”

This study assessed the genetic diversity of honeybees (Apis mellifera) in Algeria, in North Africa, using the molecular marker mtDNA COI-COII (Cytochrome Oxidase I and II). In total, five hundred eighty-two honeybee workers were sampled from 22 regions of the country. A PCR-RFLP (Polymerase Chain Reaction Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism) analysis of the mtDNA samples distinguished the honeybee evolutionary lineages and mtDNA haplotypes from each region. Our data revealed the presence of three different honeybee lineages among the studied populations, comprising the African (A), North Mediterranean (C) and West Mediterranean (M) lineages. Eight different mtDNA haplotypes were recorded at various frequencies (A1, A2, A8, A9, A10, A13, C7 and M4). For the first time, our results identified a low genetic introgression (3.1%) of non-local mtDNA haplotypes (C7 and M4) among the local Algerian honeybees, most likely due to the import of foreign honeybees. Notably, the southern Algerian honeybee populations had lower haplotype diversity than the northern populations. Overall, the local North African honeybee subspecies A. m. intermissa and/or A. m.sahariensis seem to be remarkably dominant across northern Algeria.
