Abstract
Twenty five samples of Carniolan bees were collected from each of two isolated areas used for breeding Carniolan bees in Egypt, Manzala and New Valley. Thirty one characters on the right forewing of collected bees were chosen for differentiation and classification the bees in the two locations. Suitable scanner connected with a computer were used. After displaying the image of the wings on the monitor, and by using a suitable measuring program the characters of the forewing were determined as polar coordinate points. Using discriminant analysis as statistical tool, the two populations could be significantly differentiated from each other, and the bees in each location could be classified correctly to its group with classification rate of 92.84% and 88.84% for bees in New Valley and Manzala, respectively. The results obtained indicated that there was a great differences in forewing characters between the two populations, which could be help in setting a suitable cross breeding program between them for improving honeybees in Egypt.
