Naturally. Every living form has DNA. The drosophila species is even used to test genetic drift and another different features of DNA changes because their generations follow one after another rapidly.

Yes, bees do have DNA. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material that carries the information needed for growth, development, and functioning of all living organisms, including bees. It serves as a blueprint for life and is passed on from one generation to the next through reproduction.

Does pollen make bees stripes yellow?
No. That is in their DNA
How do you tell honey bee from africanized bee?
There is no obvious physical difference between Africanized honey bees and European honey bees. The only way of distinguishing is by DNA analysis.

Is the Africanized honey bee damaging the environment it now lives in?
An Africanized honey bee is just a bee with attitude. Apart from that there are no significant physical differences between Africanized bees and Western honey bees -- in fact the only way to be sure which type of bee you have is DNA analysis. For this reason, Africanized bees are no more damaging to the environment than any other bees. In fact, all bees are essential to maintain the environment as we know it.
How do you tell if honeybees are africanized?
Africanized bees do have slight differences in the vein patterns in their wings from European honey bees, but you would need to measure a very large sample of bees and use statistical analysis to get any meaningful results. Other than that, there are no obvious physical differences. The only way to be sure is by DNA analysis.
How do you tell the difference between Africanized honeybees and Egyptian honeybees?
At the local level, a Fast Africanized Bee Identification System (FABIS) test can be performed. Starting with a sample of 50 to 100 bees, 10 bees are randomly sorted. The right wing is removed from each and mounted on microscope slides, and the average wing length is calculated. If the average wing length is over 9mm, the bees are European Honey Bees. If the average wing length is under 9mm, the bees are suspect Africanized Honey Bees. They are only suspect AHB because there are some Egyptian Honey Bees in the county that are a domesticated bee but are slightly smaller that the EHB. Some EHB are also slightly smaller than usual. The FABIS test is like the TB skin test. If the test is negative, you do not have TB. If the test is positive, you might have TB but need a more sophisticated test to be sure. If there is a need to know for certain that the sample is AHB or not, e.g., a multiple stinging incident or death, the sample is sent to the California Department of Food & Agriculture (CDFA) for further testing. They can perform either a DNA, or complete morphometrics test. The DNA test compares the DNA from the sample to known DNA standards to determine whether the bees are AHB or not. This test can be done on a small sample size but not if the bees were killed with certain pesticides. The chemicals used to kill the bees interfere with the test. Complete morphometrics can be used when the sample is contaminated with pesticides. Complete morphometrics is a series of very precise measurements of various parts of the bees in the sample. Some involve lengths of specific body parts, some involve the angles of wing veins. These measurements are then averaged and compared to a standard. A complete morphometrics test requires a larger sample size than the DNA test. Both tests are quite accurate and are considered the final word in AHB determination.
Is there a way to tell African bees from honey bees?
You can tell that bees may have become africanized by how "hot" a hive is, meaning that the bees becomes very violent with a lot of bees trying to sting you and chasing after you long distances, but this does not necessarily mean that they have become africanized. The only way to truly confirm that they are africanized is that you send some dead bees to a lab to have its wings measured as africanized bees have smaller wings than other types of bees.
