【 摘 要 】

The morphometric traits of the yellow honeybee from Vojvodina were researchedin this study. Samples were collected at seven locations: BanatskoAranđelovo, Fruška Gora, Vladimirovci, Markovac and Vršac. Each samplecontained 50 bees whose body parts were prepared, scanned and measured usingcomputer software. The average values of the measured parameters were: tonguelength (6.12 mm), right-wing length (9.07 mm) and width (3.13 mm), number ofwing hooks on the rear right-wing (21.44), cubital index (2,40), length (2.04mm) and width (1.09 mm) of basitarsus of rear right leg, corbicula area (0.79mmI), length (2.17 mm) and width (4.86 mm) of the third tergite, length (1.31mm) and width (2.41 mm) of wax plate mirror. The obtained values of theobserved parameters were consistent with the values that are characteristicto the Carniolan race of honeybees (Apis mellifera carnica Poll).
