The research measured some morphological characteristics of the workers’ bees produced in the Bombus terrestris colonies, which were treated for three generations and known as the erectile records, and the hereditary degrees of these characteristics were estimated. The study included 43 colonies in the first generation, 115 in the second generation and 42 in the third generation. Three working bees were taken from each colony and the morphological characteristics of a total of 600 working bees were measured and heredity grades were estimated. The result of the study is that the hereditary degrees of the morphological characteristics that may affect the field performance of B. terrestris worker bees (h2) are 0.71 0.045 for the worker bees weight, 0.72 0.045 for the length of language, 0.75 0.045 for the length of front wing, 0.71 0.045 for the length of front wing, 0.71 0.045 for the length of back wing. 74 0.045, 0.74 0.045 for the back wing width, 0.64 0.046, for the wing index, 0.45 0.046, for the femur length, 0.73 0.045, for the tibia length, 0.63 0.046, for the metatarsus length, 0.69 0.045, for the back leg length, 0.65 0.046 for the metatarsus width, and 0.60 0.046 for the metatarsus index.
