In order to discriminate honey bee subspecies, geometric morphometrics (GM) was applied as
a new method for the study of wing shape by using landmarks instead of standard
morphometric in recent years. In honey bees, GM analyses of wing shape have provided many
new insights, into either the characters or the identification of populations or lineages [7, 8, 10, 18].
Instead of distances and angles, it usesthe coordinates of points called landmarks
