الوصف: Rearing techniques are important to determine a successful honey bee production. Queen cell cup size may affect the acceptance rate of grafted larvae and queen’s size, which in turn may influence the quality of the colonies. The present study compared the effect of different queen cell cup sizes (8.0 vs 9.0 mm diameter) on morphometric characteristics of queen honey bees. Sixty-five larvae were grafted to each treatment. Larvae transfer was carried out five times, in June and August 2019. Head, thorax and abdomen width of the newly emerged queens were measured using an electronic calliper, and the weight of each of the three segments was recorded using a precision scale. All morphometric traits measured on the accepted larvae were significantly (p
