Abstract

The Burzyan population (Apis mellifera mellifera L.) of honeybees is considered the purest European dark bee breed in Russia. However, it is losing its thoroughbredness these days since its gene pool is intensively disturbed by southern imported bees. If left unaddressed, the brand asset of the Republic of Bashkortostan will not withstand the genetic influence of other bees and will soon disappear. There is a need for trustworthy information concerning the gene pool condition in order to develop the efficient program on conserving this bee breed. The paper provides the thoroughbredness assessment of bee families kept in private apiaries of six villages of the Burzyan district of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The study demonstrates the influence of cross-breeding on breed features of the Burzyan bees. The analysis based on the Breed by Wings software showed that the gene pool of the Burzyan population is primarily under the genetic pressure of caucasian honeybee
