Abstract

This article presents the results of a study of the Carniolan (Apis mellifera carnica Pollm) and Carpathian (Apis mellifera carpatica) breeds of honey bees and their crossbred populations in the conditions of the Tashkent province in Uzbekistan. The morphological characteristics of bees were revealed, morphometric measurements and analysis of economically useful traits were carried out. A comparative analysis of the morphological and morphometric differences of the bee breeds under study has been carried out.
