I have identified honey bee worker as Apis cerana and would like to identify it at the subspecies level. Where can I get help for subspecies level identification of honey bee?
molecular studies with CO I gene or microsatellite markers will help in identification at subspecies level. Morphometric characters can also be used to differentiate intra -population variation.
You can also contact Dr. Sasidhar Virakmath, Professor, University of Agrl. Sciences, Dharwad for morphometric analysis and subspecies characterization
