The potential of instrumental insemination for sustainable honeybee breeding
Mating control is crucial in honeybee breeding and commonly guaranteed by bringing virgin
queens to isolated mating stations (IMS) for their nuptial flights. However, most breeding …

Comparison of infinitesimal and finite locus models for long-term breeding simulations with direct and maternal effects at the example of honeybees
Stochastic simulation studies of animal breeding have mostly relied on either the
infinitesimal genetic model or finite polygenic models. In this study, we investigated the long …

Consequences of incorrect genetic parameter estimates for single‐trait and multi‐trait genetic evaluations in honeybees
Genetic and residual variances of traits are important input parameters for best linear
unbiased prediction (BLUP) breeding value estimation. In honeybees, estimates of these …

Breeding success or genetic diversity in honey bees?
K Bienefeld - Bee World, 2016 - Taylor & Francis
The majority of selection traits desired in animal breeding are strongly influenced by the
environment. If animals are selected based on such environmentally influenced traits …
