a b s t r a c t here we performed a morphometric analysis of dwarf honey bee (apis florea f.) workers from saudi arabia, and we detected morphometric variations within the species in the Jubail and al-ahsa provinces of this region. between the two provinces, Jubail is further north and is closer to sea level, and data showed that during the collection period, Jubail experienced significantly higher humidity. compared to workers from the Jubail province, workers from al-ahsa province showed significantly higher body weight, measured head appendage characteristics, wing characteristics (apart from hindwing width), leg characteristics, and length and width of the 3 rd abdominal sternite and 1 st wax mirror. body weight as found to be significantly positively correlated with all determined characteristics, except for flagellum length, hindwing width, 3 rd tergite length, and lengths of the 4 th tergite and sternite. it can be concluded that body weight and morphometric characteristics of dwarf honey bee workers were significantly affected by geographic origin. the morphometric measurements were within the range reported from most previously examined countries.keywords: apis florea, dwarf honey bee, morphometric, saudi arabia.

In this study, we investigated the genetic relationship and population differentiation within and among Apis florea populations sampled from three states in Iran, by using RAPD-PCR analysis. A total of 158 A. florea colonies from nine locations belonging to Ilam, Khuzestan and Bushehr states of Iran were evaluated. Of the 25 RAPD primers tested, 10 were identified with a total of 115 fragments. The populations included in this study showed high levels of genetic variation (H=0.21). According to genetic distance, the most genetically distant populations were Soush and Dezful, and the most similar populations were Sarollah and Musiyan. A. florea populations from three states grouped as only one big cluster on the tree based on Nei genetic distance. Isolation by distance test showed no significant relation between geographic and genetic distance. However, populations within each state showed higher similarities than the populations of other states.
