he honey bee, Apis mellifera L., is globally widespread
with a wide diversity of subspecies. hese subspecies can
be classiied with morphometric tools (Ruttner et al. 1978).
Many studies have been undertaken on honey bees using
morphological characteristics (e.g. Abou-Shaara et al. 2012
and Garnery et al. 2004). hese characteristics can be divided
into three major groups; which are length measurements,

Despite the arid conditions that prevail in Saudi Arabia beekeeping is widely practiced in many parts of the country by large number of beekeepers. It is a significant source of income. The bee-keeping industry is steadily growing in the country with different opportunities and, of course, many challenges.
