Nano colonies: Rearing honey bee queens and their offspring in small laboratory arenas by Zachary S. Lamas, Serhat Solmaz, Cory Stevens, Jason Bragg, Eugene V. Ryabov, Shayne Madella, Miguel Corona, Jay D. Evans

“…Here we provide a new system to reliably produce queens and worker brood in the laboratory and describe how this system fits with artificial insemination of queens as a step towards a continuous self-contained source of bees. The process creates a bridge between field research and laboratory trials and provides a secure system for contagious or regulated elements while maintaining many of the intrinsic characteristics of a honey bee colony.…”
