Abstract

Morphometric characters of worker honeybees, Apis mellifera Linnaeus, were analysed by multivariate methods to characterize their populations in the northeastern and southern regions (ecological-climatological zones) of Algeria, from 36°55’ to 32°25’N and 3°39’ to 8°22’E. Three morphoclusters were identified by using principal components and linear discriminant analyses. The bees are identified as Apis mellifera intermissa Buttel-Reepen.

Key words: Apis mellifera intermissa, morphometrics, ecological-climatological zones, Algeria.
