Abstract
Given is an overview of original publications devoted to the investigation of the honey bee genome. The history of honey bee genome studies and its characteristics are described. The results of genetic studies of honey bees using genome-wide data are presented. A special focus is put on the search for alleles associated with economically valuable, adaptive, and other important honey bee traits.
