Bees are known mainly by one eccentric species, the honey bee, and many people do not realize that there are some 20,000 species of bees, most of them living solitarily. Although honey bees and oth...

The development of about 20 relatively small nests of Xylocopa pubescens was studied. After the first offspring had become adult, these nests reached a social stage in which there was only one egg-layer per nest. Freshly emerged (teneral) adults eat

D'un point de vue historique, le developpement de la technique d'elevage des bourdons (Bombus spp.) se caracterise par trois phases. Durant la 1 re phase, les reines ont ete attirees dans des domiciles artificiels et diverses techniques ont ete utili

The stingless bee Melipona bicolor is facultatively polygynous, a unique character among the bees. Polygynous colonies were not more productive than monogynous colonies. During the process of provisioning and oviposition of cells (POP) a queen may be

Female behaviour in social Hymenoptera and the queen-worker conflict with respect to male production have been the focus of many studies. Although male production is an investment that is in conflict with investment in colony size, males play a vital

Patterns of sex allocation in bumblebees have been enigmatic and difficult to interpret in either a Fisherian context or in a kinselection perspective. We gathered data on several hundred laboratory-reared colonies of the bumblebee Bombus terrestris

In pollen-storing bumblebees, the rate at which workers nourish larvae has been proposed to be the main factor influencing caste differentiation since workers feed prospective queens more frequently and longer than worker larvae during the last insta

Queen-laid eggs of Melipona bees stand upright on their larval food, in part because the upper part of the egg is covered with a water-repellent layer of fatty acids and C21 to C29 hydrocarbons. The lower, wettable portion does not have these materia

As in many other stingless bees, Melipona bicolor bicolor Lepeletier (Apidae: Meliponinae) workers lay two morphologically distinct types of eggs: slender ones that have a typical patterned chorion, and larger ones that lack this pattern. In this pap

The Dufour’s gland is found closely associated with the sting apparatus of all female hymenopterans, playing multiple roles among bees. In some species of Bombus the gland may be involved in production of nestmate recognition pheromones, but in B.
