Abstract
Genetic variation was measured in five populations of Bombus appositus Cresson. Scoring of 29 loci in 18 enzyme systems resulted in polymorp hic loci in all populations and a low estimated mean heterozygosity of 0.028 +/- 0.004 (SE). Neighbor-joining analysis did not resolve the g eographic pattern of the populations.
