Description

A study of genetic diversity of African honey bee (Apis mellifera adansonii) was carried out on twenty two (22) bee colonies from four (4) different bee farms in Ogun environ. The extracted DNA was pure and of good quality using modified Murray and Thompson technique (1980). The worker bee samples were amplified using seven (7) primers (A81, A29, A113, A107, A107, A14, IC1 and B124). A total of 81 bands amplified for all primers except B124 that showed no bands. 80 bands were polymorphic, while 1 was monomorphic, the polymorphic bands ranged between 10 and 16 per primer. The bands were scored for their presence (1) and absence (0), the score was then used in constructing a dendogram. Factorial analysis further confirmed the genetic variability of all the honeybee samples from the 22 colonies. The genetic composition of the worker bees of Apis mellifera adansonii in Ijebu  environ using sample sequence repeat (SSR) revealed that no two (2) sample of the population has the same genetic composition, yet they all belong to a genetic lineage.
