MORPHOMETRY OF BEE WINGS ON EIGHT SIGNS INDICES: Ci, Dbi, Disc.sh, Pci, Ri, Ci.2, Ci.2.1, Ci.3

Introduction: The use of the latter is available, usually on a paid basis. In practice, five wing indices are most often used to discriminate wings: Ci, Disc.sh., Dbi, Ri, Pci. Due peculiarity structure wings, Ri and especially Disc.sh. determined with significant errors (Std.Err.), which reduces reliability classification as whole. goal work: authors set out find small number identification that could be improve bee wings using computer programs publicly available. Material methods research: 1545 worker bees were for research. Veining measurements performed photographs TpsDig2 digitization program according accepted DAWINO methodology. Calculation values ​​of signs (indices) discrimination wing, by their own program. Statistical processing results calculation these was StatSoft's STATISTICA 8.0 software package. Results research discussion: coefficients functions all possible variants into four clusters 5th, 6th, 7th 8th found. criteria weight each Partial – Lambda index (λр) given, show individual contribution data classification, (Percent Correct) cluster separately overall whole (Total).  Analysis shows 8 classify quite variable, depend base array well features in particular variant. summary, it can considered fair orient beekeepers assessing distinction first approximation value cubital index. However, more precise discrimination, case, if we do not take account influence other only (Si). Conclusions prospects further discriminant analysis allows obtain reliable tool colonies. versus 5, eliminates ambiguity basis Ci two priori increases confidence quality gives grounds high initial rapid assessment compliance certain groups Key words: Classification bees, indices,
