Abstract
Morphometric is an essential tool for honey bee races discrimination and
characterization. Such vital tool has been applied widely in honey bee
researches. Unfortunately there is no available literature for confirming
honey bee wings symmetry. Therefore, standard and geometric morphometric
analyses were employed for investigating wings symmetry as well as for
discriminating between Carniolan and Yemeni honey bees. Moreover, three
angles of hind wings (H1, H2 and H3) were evaluated in the discrimination
between the two races. Results of morphometric analyses strongly confirmed
the symmetry of honey bee wings. Standard and geometric morphometric analyses
successfully discriminate between the two races. Hind wing length and angle
H3 could be incorporated in honey bee races discrimination.
