Hello All, In either the March or April 2006 American Bee Journal I did an article on AHB in Florida. You can clearly see the set up for testing morphometry from the pictures I have taken. The article provides an easy to understanding of the steps involved. 1. you need the computer program.( CD-ROM) 2. you need the slide with the known bee race three parts(AHB , Italian or others) 3. you need a screen to project the slides. To test for AHB: You need 10 sample bees. You dissect the three needed parts from each sample and place on 10 slides. Then you mouse click on many points and enter information into the computer ( this part can be done by math) Once all ten samples are entered into the computer then a number figure is given. The number given by the program is compared to a number on a chart and the degree of africanization is determined. Time consuming I found as I did some testing myself. bob -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
