Landmark-based analysis of honey bee wing variation: findings from some regions of Van, Hakkari (Türkiye) and Iran
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. Shape and size differences were examined using 20 landmark points on the right forewings of the samples. Procrustes ANOVA revealed significant differences between locations and apiaries (p
