Vitellogenin plays a role in regulating honey bee swarming [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSwarming, or colony reproduction, in honey bees (Apis mellifera) is an indicator of colony-level fitness. The drivers of swarming remain elusive at both the colony and individual bee level. Floral abundance, rapid colony growth, and congestion are colony
