The project will develop new molecular markers for commercially relevant trait of honey bees and ways of using these to implement marker-assisted selection for honey bee genetic improvement. Beekeepers need to use genetically improved stock to remain competitive. Honey production needs to be improved, and new ways of identifying disease resistant bees are needed. Unfortunately, breeding bees is very difficult. This project will use modern molecular genetic techniques to help find new efficient ways to breed better bees. The benefits will be a more viable beekeeping sector, a keystone industry that provides pollination services essential to many horticultural industries

该项目将为蜜蜂的商业相关性状开发新的分子标记，并利用这些分子标记实现蜜蜂遗传改良的标记辅助选择。养蜂人需要使用基因改良的品种来保持竞争力。蜂蜜生产需要改进，并且需要识别抗病蜜蜂的新方法。不幸的是，繁殖蜜蜂是非常困难的。这个项目将使用现代分子遗传技术来帮助找到新的有效方法来培育更好的蜜蜂。这样做的好处是养蜂业更加可行，而养蜂业是为许多园艺产业提供授粉服务的关键产业
