Techniques to monitor honey bee (Apis mellifera) egg production in cages allow researchers to study how different environmental factors contribute to reproduction. However, although the conditions required to facilitate queen egg production in a laboratory setting have been established, limited work has addressed the requirements for stimulating and monitoring worker egg laying. Here, we documented that drone laying workers will lay eggs in Queen Monitoring Cages (QMC), specialized cages designed to facilitate queen egg laying under controlled conditions. Egg production and worker mortality were compared between QMCs containing queens and those containing drone laying workers. High-definition images of the last abdominal segments of living first-instar larvae hatched from worker laid eggs and those putatively laid by queens were qualitatively compared to identify candidate characteristics to determine their sex.

无人机在蜂王监控笼中铺设蜜蜂工人。
监测笼中蜜蜂 (Apis mellifera) 产卵的技术使研究人员能够研究不同的环境因素如何促进繁殖。然而,尽管已经建立了在实验室环境中促进蜂王产卵所需的条件,但有限的工作已经解决了刺激和监测工人产卵的要求。在这里,我们记录了无人机产蛋工人将在蜂王监控笼 (QMC) 中产卵,这是一种专门用于在受控条件下促进蜂王产卵的笼子。比较了含有蜂王和含有无人机产蛋工人的 QMC 之间的产蛋量和工人死亡率。
