Quantifying honey bee mating range and isolation in semi-isolated valleys by DNA microsatellite pate
Honey bee males and queens mate in mid air and can fly many kilometres on their nuptial flights.

This study used DNA microsatellite markers to determine the mating range of A. m. mellifera in two adjacent semi-isolated valley
