Abstract

The physiological and behavioural traits of Beypazarı (Central Anatolia) and Tokat (Black Sea) ecotypes and their crosses were studied in private and university apiaries in Tokat. The results showed that the reproductive performance of Beypazarı ecotype was a little slower compared to Tokat both of which were significantly retarded than the BxT crosses (P
