Vecchi and the Istituto Nazionale di Apicoltura for providing the bees used in this research and Professor F. Ruttner of the Institut fur Bienenkunde for suggesting sources. The comments and criticisms of Dr. May R. Berenbaum and Bruce A. McPheron also are greatly appreciated.

Abstract

Adult workers of the honey bee, Apis mellifera ligustica, from Italy were assayed for enzyme polymorphism using a variety of electrophoretic conditions. Three polymorphic enzyme systems are described, two of which, malic enzyme and an esterase, were previously unknown in indigenous A. m. ligustica. In addition, a new allozyme for the Mdh locus is reported.
