Abstract
The characterization of bees is important for optimized and sustainable management of beekeeping systems. To this end, morphometric and hygienic behavior studies of the Apis mellifera unicolor bee from three different regions (Centre, South-East and West) were carried out. From a morphological point of view, two bee strains differing in coloration were identified in these regions: black bee strains and yellow bee strains. In some areas (western region), a cohabitation of yellow and black bees was observed in the same hive. Morphometric measurements revealed a biogeographical variation in the regions studied, which can be divided into three groups: central bees with long front and rear wings and a large pollen sac, western and south-eastern bees with a long proboscis and a well-developed mentum, and finally central-eastern bees with long legs and a well-developed tibia. The pin test was used to study hygienic behavior. The results showed that there were no significant differences between intact, uncapped, partially cleaned and cleaned cells from the regions studied, with the exception of cleaned cells from western regions. A 13.07% decrease in hygienic capacity was observed in the central regions when comparing our results with previous studies.
