Morphometric Differences among Africanized and European Honey Bees and Their F1 Hybrids (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Discriminant analysis procedures were applied to morphometric data from Africanized and European honey bees and their F1 hybrids. Functions were developed to allow the correct classification of 10-bee samples from all three groups. Samples that are a mixture of bees can be evaluated using the classification of individual bees based on individual-bee discriminant functions, which are available.
