Morphometric parameters are used in order to study taxonomy, systematization, and to determine the race of honey bees. Large number of morphological parameters is studied both worldwide and in our country, so the honey bee has become the most studied insect with about 42 morphometrics, quantitative traits. In this paper, following biometric traits were identified: tongue length, front wing length, front wing width, cubital index, length and width of the third tergit, length and width of wax plate mirror, femur length, tibia length, length and width of basitarsus and the tarsal index. Samples of bees included in these studies were taken from the site Slavujevac, Strojkovce and Leskovac from honey bee colonies of good health condition and raised under the influence of natural selection. Based on the statistical and descriptive statistics methods, the total variability and variation coefficient for all individuals studied honey bee races were determined.
