摘要：

A suite of 10 morphological characters was identified that discriminated between the 2 southern African honeybee races, Apis mellifera capensis and A m scutellata. Collections of samples from 32 localities which spanned the sub-continent from the west coast to the east coast and ranged from Cape Town in the south to north of Johannesburg were used to define the current distribution of the 2 races and the hybrid zone between them. The data obtained from the morphometric analysis are in good agreement with data on laying worker reproduction.
