The local honey bee population is suitable for the climatic conditions of Latvia; it characterizes with good wintering and economically used winter feed, high disease resistance, and ability to use late honey yield during wintering. Negative characteristics are aggressiveness and swarming. In Latvia, different varieties of bees were imported during the 20th century 30’s, and hybrids, which do not comply with A. mellifera mellifera, were developed because of uncontrolled crossings. Latvia University of Agriculture apiary is carrying out bees’ breeding material evaluation according to the morphometric analysis: the cubital index and discoidal deviation. Because of natural mating of queens and drones, up to 30% of offspring correspond to Latvian local honey bee, but using instrumental insemination – this proportion was 84–100%.
