Effects of Temperature During Package Transportation on Queen Establishment and Survival in Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY, 112(3), 1043–1049.

By: J. Withrow n, J. Pettis * & D. Tarpy n 

author keywords: honey bee; queen failure; package; transportation
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees; Female; Hymenoptera; Male; Reproduction; Spermatozoa; Temperature; Transportation
TL;DR: No indication that these postinstallation queen events were driven by temperature-related damage to stored sperm incurred during transportation, and there is no indication of significant hot or cold zones across the truckloads of packages that would suggest a problem in how packages are insulated during transportation.

By: J. Withrow n & D. Tarpy n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / genetics; Bees / growth & development; Female; Inheritance Patterns; Larva / genetics; Larva / growth & development; Male; Reproduction; Selection, Genetic; Sexual Behavior, Animal; Social Behavior
TL;DR: The identification of these cryptic “royal” subfamilies reveals that honey bee queens, already considered “hyperpolyandrous,” are mating with even more males than has been previously recognized. (via Semantic Scholar)
