vation, breeding and introduction. This article mainly summarizes the influencin

g factors and research methods of genetic diversity of the honeybee. The genetic

 diversity of honeybee was affected by both natural factors and human activities

. The former included environmental factors and population competition, while th

e latter are involved in variety introduction and pesticide contamination. Sever

al methods were adopted to analyze the genetic diversity, including morphologica

l determination, DNA analysis and so on. The differences of these techniques wer

e also compared in this paper. As a conclusion, in order to get a comprehensive

result with the omnidirectional and multiangled evaluation, a combination of

 different techniques was preferred.
