A Microsurgical Technique for Removing the Spermatheca of Bumblebee Females and Its Application
To solve the technical bottleneck caused by the absence of a feasible method for removing the spermatheca in social insects, we developed a microsurgical technique specifically designed for bumblebee females. In this study, the invention of this technique is based on the anatomical characteristics o...
