Allele Frequencies of Genetic Variants Associated with Varroa Drone Brood Resistance (DBR) in <i>Apis mellifera</i> Subspecies across the European Continent

Implementation of marker-assisted selection (MAS) in modern beekeeping would improve sustainability, especially in breeding programs aiming for resilience against the parasitic mite <i>Varroa destructor</i>. Selecting honey bee colonies for natural resistance traits, such as brood-intrin...
