Highlights我们探讨了早期熊蜂群体中与食物相关的任务的组织。大多数工蜂喂养幼蜂，有些工蜂还收集花蜜，有些工蜂还收集花粉。花粉收集是早期筑巢阶段最独特的与食物相关的任务。花粉与非花粉收集是分工的最重要轴。熊蜂（熊蜂：蜜蜂科）是理解动物行为、生态学和进化的长期模型系统。然而，在这个系统中的工人是如何组织执行有关育雏喂养和食物收集的基本任务仍然不清楚。大黄蜂经历了截然不同的生命阶段，在这些阶段中，社会环境以及任务组织都会随着时间的推移而变化。蚁后独自开始筑巢，当第一批工蜂出现时，它们帮助蚁后进行育雏和收集食物的任务，而蚁后则过渡到主要产卵。虽然任务组织已在成熟的殖民地进行了研究，迄今为止很少有研究探讨这些任务是如何组织在年轻的，初期的巢。在这里，我们探讨了食物相关的任务，包括育雏喂养和食物收集，是由工人在初期殖民地组织。我们发现，与食物相关的任务是嵌套的，因为大多数工人喂养育雏，一个子集也收集花蜜和一个较小的子集也收集花粉。这些模式表明，育雏喂养是一项任务，由大多数工人，花粉收集与nonpollen收集之间的区别可能是最重要的轴分工大黄蜂巢，至少在早期筑巢阶段。
HighlightsWe explored organization of food-related tasks in incipient bumble bee colonies.Most workers fed brood, some also collected nectar and some also collected pollen.Pollen collection was the most exclusive food-related task at early nesting stages.Pollen vs nonpollen collection was the most important axis of division of labour.Bumble bees (Bombus: Apidae) are a long-standing model system for understanding animal behaviour, ecology and evolution. However, how workers in this system are organized to perform fundamental tasks related to brood feeding and food collection remains unclear. Bumble bees undergo dramatically different life stages, across which the social environment, and therefore task organization, changes over time. Queens initiate nests solitarily, and when the first cohort of workers emerge, they help the queen carry out brood-feeding and food collection tasks, whereas the queen transitions to primarily egg laying. Although task organization has been studied in mature colonies, few studies to date have explored how these tasks are organized in young, incipient nests. Here, we explored how food-related tasks, including brood feeding and food collection, are organized by workers in incipient colonies. We found that food-related tasks were nested, in that the majority of workers fed brood, a subset also collected nectar and a smaller subset also collected pollen. These patterns suggest that brood feeding is a task shared by most workers, and that the distinction between pollen collecting versus nonpollen collecting might be the most important axis of division of labour in bumble bee nests, at least at the early nesting stage.
