Color types markers are an important indicator in bee morphological marker.125 samples of live frame cultured Apis cerana cerana and 25 samples of original ecological cultured Apis cerana cerana were collected in the Chinese honeybee nature reserve,labrum,scutellum,and tergum were analyzed on 2250 worker bees to study the color types diversity of Apis cerana cerana in the reserve.The results showed a high diversity of color types of Apis cerana cerana in the Yimeng Mountain area,and there were significant differences in different color types indicators in live frame breeding(P＜0.05).The main color types of the labrum of bees in original ecological breeding was the same as that in live frame breeding,with 6 types being the main.The above results can provide a theoretical basis for the evaluation,protection,and utilization of northern type Apis cerana cerana germplasm resources in the Yimeng Mountain area.
