Predicted genetic gain for different breeding schemes (a) and increase in genetic gain by adding genotypes of 500 queens (b). a Genetic gain, \({R}_{GS}\), was calculated according to Eq. (20). For strategies without preselection of BQ, or without preselection of DPQ, the scheme with the highest genetic gain is shown. The value for zero genotyped queens represents the gain with pedigree-based selection, \({R}_{PB}\), predicted according to Eq. (18). b The increase in genetic gain by adding 500 genotypes of queens (IGG) is shown for the optimal breeding scheme in (a). Genetic gain and IGG are given in the units of the selection criterion
