Characterization and morphology study of honeybees worker Apis florae Fabricius 1787 (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in Wasit Governorate
Abstract
This study is carried out during March and April, 2018, which is used a significant characterization for discrimination this species with other honeybees’ species such as antennae, tongue, the veins of the front and back wings, the third pair of legs, pollen collection basket, and abdomen.
