Abstract

Honey bee wing lengths and vein patterns differ between major genetic lineages. In this dataset we publish forewing images for 276 individual honey bees with mixtures of African and European genetic ancestry of varying proportions. In the associated population genomics study, we compared evolutionary outcomes of the Africanized honey bee invasion in North and South America (California and Argentina). Samples from Argentina were provided by the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA), Argentina.
