Description

Abstract

Honey bee queens were sampled from diverse global origins to investigate relationships between morphometrics and pheromone profiles. Queens were sourced from producers in Italy, Australia, Chile, and multiple sources within the U.S. and Canada. We acquired high resolution images of n=95 queen heads, wings, basitarsi, ovaries, and spermathecae, which can be further analyzed to extract morphometric information using image processing software.
