    In this study, we investigated the genetic relationship and population differentiation within and among Apis florea populations sampled from three states in Iran, by using RAPD-PCR analysis. A total of 158 A. florea colonies from nine locations belonging to Ilam, Khuzestan and Bushehr states of Iran were evaluated. Of the 25 RAPD primers tested, 10 were identified with a total of 115 fragments. The populations included in this study showed high levels of genetic variation (H=0.21). According to genetic distance, the most genetically distant populations were Soush and Dezful, and the most similar populations were Sarollah and Musiyan. A. florea populations from three states grouped as only one big cluster on the tree based on Nei genetic distance. Isolation by distance test showed no significant relation between geographic and genetic distance. However, populations within each state showed higher similarities than the populations of other states.
