13 PCGs were used to analyze the phylogenetic relationships of A. cerana, A. mellifera sinisxinyuan and A. mellifera capensis as outgroups. The numbers shown at each branch point represent the support values for the nodes: the first number indicates the bootstrap support value derived from maximum likelihood analysis, while the second number represents the posterior probability obtained from Bayesian inference analysis. The same color A. cerana comes from the same country.
