In the present investigation, some multivariate discriminant analyses were done for each population of the native honeybee workers (Apis cerana), which were selected for 15 different localities in spring and 16 in summer form Korea. when the comparison of both seasons for different populations and regardless of seasons were conducted, all the classification results revealed that the differences were significantly prominent. And the length of fore tibia(FTL) was the best contributed character among the 47 morphometric characters used in the analysis.

Some multivariate discriminant analyses were done for each population of the native honeybee workers (Apis cerana), which were selected for 11 different localities in spring and 12 in summer from Korea. When the comparison for different localities was conducted, the correct assignment was averaged at 91.67% in spring and 88.44% in summer. And for the comparison between the 2 different seasons, it was averaged at 97.58%. Whereas, that regardless of seasons revealed the lowest correct assignment at 70.16%.

In the present investigation, some cluster analyses were done for each population of the native honeybee workers(Apis cerana), which were selected for 15 different localities in spring and 16 in summer from Korea. In this analysis, the seasonal segregation was perfectly revealed by both Ward's and the average linkage between groups methods, whereas, it did not necessarily revealed any systematic relationship between geographical groups.
