We present an R script that describes the workflow for analysing honey bee (_Apis mellifera_) wing shape. It is based on a dataset of wing images and landmark coordinates available at Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8128010. The dataset can be used as a reference for the identification of local bees from southern Kazakhstan, which most probably belong to the subspecies _Apis mellifera pomonella_. It was compared with data from Nawrocka et al. (2018), available at Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7567336.
