The soluble protein, nonspecific esterases, NAD and NADP - dependent malatedehydrogenases and superoxidedismutases were studied in three domesticated populations of Apis mellifera from three regions of South Bulgaria. Thirty-nine enzyme and non-enzyme loci, eight of them being polymorphic, were estimated. The allele and genotype frequencies were investigated and the genetic analysis of the populations studied was performed regarding the range of polymorphysm and heterozygosity. The possibility to use genetic characteristics to compare local bees with bees from different parts of the world was discussed.
