Discrimination of honey bee lineages based on the first two canonical variates obtained with IdentiFly software. Colonies A, B, C and D were indicated with circles, squares, diamonds and triangles, respectively. In graph A, June, July, August and September were indicated with blue, red, green and black, respectively. In graph B, the left and right body sides were indicated with red and black, respectively.
