Drone and Worker Brood Microclimates Are Regulated Differentially in Honey Bees, Apis mellifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:Honey bee (Apis mellifera) drones and workers show differences in morphology, physiology, and behavior. Because the functions of drones are more related to colony reproduction, and those of workers relate to both survival and reproduction, we ...
