Reproduction in eusocial bees (Apidae: Apini, Meliponini)
, 2004 This thesis presents some key aspects of the regulation and the mechanisms of colony reproduction in honeybees and stingless bees. Special attention is paid to key questions about how the production of males, gynes and swarms takes place, and what intranidal and extranidal factors are related to these processes.
