Demonstrates optimized GWAS methods in honey bees, highlighting implications for eusocial species.
and sample sizes of at least 1,000 are effective for identifying QTL for key traits. Including both queen and worker genotypes improved QTL discovery power, emphasizing the need to optimize GWAS methods for eusocial species. Our results should improve future GWAS in honey bees and highlights the need for additional simulations and standard-setting work in other eusocial species.
