Hi John

Bro. Adam's book, attaches behaviours to various races of bee, but there 
is little in it that will help you to identify bees.

That morphometric work was done mainly by Ruttner and is written up in 
'Biogeography and Taxonomy of Honeybees'.

Some very good drawings of different races exist, drawn by Gezeichnet 
von M. Wimmer, but I do not know of a source on the web. The pictures 
are published in one of the 'hive and the honeybee' editions, I think 
the one by Grout in 1946.
