Applying instrumental insemination in closely related honey bee colonies often leads to frequent lethality of offspring causing colony collapse. This is due to the peculiarities of honey bee reproductive biology, where the <i>complementary sex determination</i> (<i>csd</i>) gene drives sex determination within a haplodiploid system. Diploid drones containing homozygous genotypes are lethal. Tracking of <i>csd</i> alleles using molecular markers prevents this unwanted event in closed breeding pro ...[more]
