The colonies were characterized by high paternity and low relatedness between the workers, a colony kin structure similar to that observed in other Apis species. The mating frequencies of the queen in this species were slightly higher than those of A. florea queens from Thailand, but relatively lower than those of other honey bee species studied. 收起
