AB  - Genetic  diversity  and  the  relationship  between genetic distance and geographical distance of 6 <I>Apis cerana cerana</I> populations in China were evaluated with 11 microstaellite loci, the results showed that the number of alleles per locus ranged from 7-21, the average expected heterozygosity and PIC of all loci were 0.7339 and 0.7082, respectively. Average number of alleles/locus was ranged from 2.3636 in Guangxi bee and Jiling bee to 6.4545 in Zhejiang bee. The overall expected heterozygosity of 6 <I>Apis cerana cerana</I> populations was 0.7339±0.0344, all populations showed relative large heterozygosity. In the whole population, the average of genetic differentiation among population was 32.4% (p&lt;0.001). The geographical elements may own to the close relationship for particular population pairs, however, the equation F<SUB>ST</SUB>/(1-F<SUB>ST</SUB>) = -1.5904 + 1.0604 ln (d) and the result from Mantel’s test (p = 0.130) did not provide enough support for a significant correlation between the genetic and geographical pair wise distances.
