Table 1 Detailed frequency of 25 abnormalities found in the right and left forewing and hindwing of 424 honeybees examined. Vague abnormality is defined as new vein formation or protrusion that is not fully completed and the vein has just become a little pointy in the spot. The percentage shows the amount of abnormality from the total observed on forewing or hindwing, i.e. abnormality 1 accounts for 19.49% of abnormalities seen on the right forewing. Only total values are used in subsequent analyses.

From: Wing vein abnormality analysis in honeybee (Apis mellifera L. 1758) populations from Iran
