dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted to determine the morphological characteristics and to identify the honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) genotypes husbanded in the Artvin and Ardahan cities of the northeastern Anatolia Region. A total of 84 worker bee experimental samples were collected from 8 apiaries; in different locations. From each sample 20 workers were used and 19 morphological characteristics were measured biometrically. Samples used were collected from 3 regions of Ardahan (Ardahan-Center, Posof-Yenikoy and Posof-Sungulu) and from 5 different regions of Artvin province (Hamurlu, Kaikci, Borcka-Camili, Savsat-Kocabey and Muratli). As a result of discrimination analysis there was found to be no variation between bees from deffirent areas in T-4 and cubital vein length a on the front wing. Though 7 discriminant functions were analysed, the first three functions accounted for 84.1% of the total variation. The 24 samples taken from Artvin Borcka-Camili and 10 samples from Ardahan-Center and 10 samples from Ardahan Posof-Yenikoy were completely classified into their real groups. Artvin Borcka-Camili, Ardahan-Center, Posof-Yenikoy samples were distinguished from other groups and formed a distinct group. Whereas, in the Hamurlu, Kaikci, Savsat-Kocabey and Muratli populations the samples overlapped. | |
