Bees bodies are fairly proportional...

It's not far from true to say - big body - big wings, small wings -
small body. Or?

Big bodies demands bigger cellsize than small bodies. Right?

Different bee races = different sizes. Why "put" big body in small
cells and why putt small body i big cells?  Bees should be kept i
NATURALL size of cells. Right?

When talking wing size:

                               inner     inner    6 fields
                              lenght    width

AHB                      4,349     1,944    4,735
BUCKFAST         4,553     2,084    5,346
CAPENSIS          4,517     2,106    5,306
CARNICA            4,587     2,139    5,519
CAUCASIA         4,526     2,100    5,313
CECROPIA         4,472     2,083    5,247
IBERIENSIS        4,474     1,998    5,000
LIGUSTICA         4,462     2,099    5,289
LITTOREA          4,091     1,885    4,302
MACEDONICA  4,466     2,075    5,194
MELLIFERA       4,548     2,073    5,277
MONTICOLA      4,236     1,934    4,619
SCUTELLATA   4,162     1,909    4,472

As I understand this figures, so carnica is much bigger than AHB. I
can't understand why to use the arizona cell size for carnica.

If you are curious what "inner length", "inner width" and "6 fields"
means, go to:

click on "Avel" and than click on "DAWINO". In the file "Factor
