MORPHOMETRIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HONEY BEES (Apis mellifera carpatica) POPULATIONS FROM TRANSYLVANIAN AREA

The result of the long evolutionary process formed, by natural selection, variable races and ecotypes which are biological and ecological differentiated. The Romanian, Apis mellifera carpatica is the most adapted and the most efficient species at the local conditions. Morphometric measurements were...
