Abstract | ||||
The morphometric characters of worker honeybee of the 1st hy-brid of Carniolan,Coucasian and Italian races were studied in 1993-1996. These characters were the following: Flagellum length, proboscis length, forewing (length-width-cubital index), hind wing (length-width-no. of hamuli),1st basitarsus (length-width), hind leg (femur length-length and width of the tibia-area of pollen basket-area of basitarsus), length and width of it wax mirrors -length and width of 4th abdominal sternite and acid gland (length per-centage of splittig -size of poison sac). Carniolan hybrid was the best. | ||||
