Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the geometric morphometric characteristics of honey bee colonies selected from certain regions of Eastern Anatolia and Iran. Wing samples from 1738 worker bees were collected from stationary colonies in the districts of Van and Hakkari (Türkiye), as well as Iran.
