A new study on genetic diversity.  A feature of the data is that you can look up your state and see the lineage of your bees. 

>Furthermore, the honey bee populations of the USA were shown to rely heavily (76.64%) on two single haplotypes (C1 = 38.76%, C2j = 37.62%) of the same lineage characterizing A. m. ligustica and A. m. carnica subspecies, respectively.

> This data suggests the need to evaluate if a restricted mtDNA haplotype diversity in the US honey bee populations could have negative impacts on the beekeeping sustainability of this country.

>Honey bee populations of the USA display restrictions in their mtDNA haplotype diversity
