Morphometric traits of the yellow honeybee (Apis mellifera carnica) from Vojvodina (Northern Serbia)

The morphometric traits of the yellow honeybee from Vojvodina were researched in this study. Samples were collected at seven locations: Banatsko Aranđelovo, Fruška Gora, Vladimirovci, Markovac and Vršac. Each sample contained 50 bees whose body parts were prepared, scanned and measured using com...

description The morphometric traits of the yellow honeybee from Vojvodina were researched in this study. Samples were collected at seven locations: Banatsko Aranđelovo, Fruška Gora, Vladimirovci, Markovac and Vršac. Each sample contained 50 bees whose body parts were prepared, scanned and measured using computer software. The average values of the measured parameters were: tongue length (6.12 mm), right-wing length (9.07 mm) and width (3.13 mm), number of wing hooks on the rear right-wing (21.44), cubital index (2,40), length (2.04 mm) and width (1.09 mm) of basitarsus of rear right leg, corbicula area (0.79 mmI), length (2.17 mm) and width (4.86 mm) of the third tergite, length (1.31 mm) and width (2.41 mm) of wax plate mirror. The obtained values of the observed parameters were consistent with the values that are characteristic to the Carniolan race of honeybees (Apis mellifera carnica Poll).
