Based on studies of more than 300 DNA samples of bee colonies collected in the Perm region in the north of the Republic of Tatarstan and the north of the Republic of Bashkortostan has been studied polymorphism of the intergenic locus COI-COII mtDNA analysis COI and ND2 of the nucleotide sequences of the genes of mtDNA honeybee, polymorphism analysis of 9 microsatellite nuclear DNA loci. The result of the molecular genetic analysis was the conclusion that the Urals has remained fairly stable population system dark forest bees, perhaps, the last in the world.
