The dependence between traits is determined by the correlation coefficients. The experiment was conducted using two generations of honey bee. The first generation consisted of the mother queen bees, and the second were their offspring. The experiment lasted for two years per generation. In the first generation, the correlation between colony strength in the both spring and autumn inspection and the honey yield was high. Considering food supply, the high correlation between food supplies in autumn and honey yield was determined. In the offspring colonies, the high correlation was determined between colony strength in autumn and honey yield. The colony strength in the spring inspection and honey yield were in medium correlation. Also, the medium correlation was determined between honey yield and brood area in the spring inspection. Other studied characteristics in the offspring colonies were not significantly correlated with honey yield.
