    I investıgations on some morphological characteristics of the honey bees (apis mellifera l.) of the harran plain Turkey
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2003) Sıralı, Recep; Şengül, Turgay; Yıldız, İsmail
    In this study, 16 morphological characteristics were measured according to the methods of several apicultural scientists on worker bee samples collected from 36 colonies of 12 different locations covering the main beekeeping regions of Harran Plain. The morphological data from honeybees of different locations were analysed and identified by variance, factor (principal component) and canonical discriminant analyses. According to analysis of variance results, 15 morphological characteristics were found to be significantly different (P<0.01) between the locations. The tarsal index (TSI) did not vary among locations. All morphological characteristics of local honeybee samples differed from the Apis mellifera anatoliaca race. Some morphological characteristics are similar to the Apis mellifera syriaca and Apis mellifera meda races. In conclusion, it was shown that when all morphological characteristics were considered, honeybee samples from different locations in the Harran Plain formed an intermingled cluster.
