Determinación de la frecuencia de apareamiento en la abeja cleptobiótica Lestrimelitta niitkib (Apidae, Meliponini) mediante el uso de microsatélites

In this paper we determined the mating frequency in the cleptobiotic bee Lestrimelitta niitkib by microsatellite typing. We found 6 queens to be singly mated while only one mated twice. We confirm this genus to be mainly single mated.
