Intraracial differences in the Carpathian honeybee race Apis mellifera carpatica from Russia and Tajikistan with the race standard (Vuchkovski line from Transcarpathian oblast of Ukraine) are compared by morphometric and molecular-genetic study. The most informative features, the “cubital index” and the “discal displacement,” are shown to deviate significantly from the standard. However, the calculated genetic distance between datasets from different regions indicates the uniformity of the Carpa
