Abstract

We investigated genotype by environment interactions (G×E) in the breeding programme of the Austrian Carnica population administered by Biene Österreich by the estimation of genetic correlations (rG) at three levels: between geographical regions, between colonies that were bred at home or elsewhere, and between individual test locations. Traits included were honey yield, gentleness, calmness and swarming behaviour. Results suggest that honey bees are very prone to G×E, not only between regions and bred at home v. elsewhere, but also at the level of individual test locations. Despite this abundance of G×E we conclude that breeding programmes covering larger areas are justified, and will result in selection for general adaptability.
