Abstract
Methods
Honeybee workers were sampled in Mauritius and La Reunion. We sampled 95 worker honey bees per colony, from the frames of the hives, in a total of ten colonies. Patrilines were determined by genotyping eight microsatellite markers on DNA extracted from the femur. For each worker, morphological measurements of the mouthparts and the right forewing were made : palpus length, cubital veins of the wing.
