In the study of the morphometric parameters of honey bees from 6 sites of southern Serbia (Panevlje, Bujanovac Lake, Vranje, Stubal, Repince and Devca), it was found that the average value in gray honey bees for the tongue length (in vivo) was 6.59 mm, length and width of the front wing were 8.96 and 3.09 mm, respectively, and the value of cubital index was 2.20. Length and width of basitarsus had an average value of 1.99 and 1.07 mm, while the average value of tarsal index was 1.82. Yellow honey bees from the area of Banat Arandjelovo, Uljma and Fruška Gora had an average value of the tongue length (in vivo) 6.40 mm. Average value of the front wing length was 9.05 mm; while the wing width had value of 3.08 mm. Determined value of cubital index was 2.33 and the average length and width of basitarsus were 2.04 and 1.16 mm, respectively. The value of tarsal index was 2.11. The total variability of the tested parameters was determined in this study.
