The Trade-Off Between the Increased Colony Nurturing Ability and the Decreased Lifespan of Worker Bees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>)

The Trade-Off Between the Increased Colony Nurturing Ability and the Decreased Lifespan of Worker Bees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>)

High temperature is normally harmful to an organism. However, honey bees evolve, maintaining a relatively higher colony temperature of 34.5 °C in the long reproduction period. To determine the effect of such a higher colony temperature on adult bees and its biological significance, newly emerged bee...
