- Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal the current situation of honey bee biological diversity in Düzce province, which stands out in beekeeping with Rhododendron flora, chestnut flora and Yığılca ecotype in the Western Black Sea. In this context, geometric morphometric analyzes were carried out on 1440 worker honey bee samples collected from apiaries established by local producers in the districts of Düzce Province. By using the BAB BsPro200 program, landmark markings were made on the right front wings of the prefixes, and datasets were obtained from 31 morphological character measures, including angle, length and index values of 19 different wing veining regions. Discriminant function analysis (DFA) was applied on individual data and colony averages, intra and intergroup variations were determined. According to the discriminant function analysis (DFA), Merkez, Akçakoca and Cumayeri districts differed significantly from each other and from other districts on the coordinate plane. It was observed that the group centers of Gümüşova-Çilimli and Kaynaşlı-Yığılca districts overlapped in two groups and clustered close to Gölyaka district. According to the UPGMA dendogram created based on the colony averages of the districts; while Akçakoca, Yığılca, Merkez, Çilimli and Gümüşova were grouped together, Cumayeri, Gölyaka and Kaynaşlı formed a different group together. The results of this study showed that the center and districts of Düzce were affected by queen bee trade and migratory beekeeping activities.
