Morphological Comparisons of Adult Worker Bees Developed in Chinese and Italian Honey Bee Combs by Shunhua Yang, Hui Li, Pingqing Wu, Dan Yue, Yulong Guo, Wenzheng Zhao, Kun Dong

“…The results identified six types of cell contents in the combs, excluding empty cells: capped honey (most abundant), followed by capped brood, uncapped honey, and smaller amounts of pollen, larvae, and eggs. Additionally, the average body weights of 6-day-old worker bee larvae, white-eyed pupae, adult worker bees, and honey stomachs containing sucrose solution were significantly higher in the treatment group than in the control group. …”
