摘要。1.在蜂群发育的出苗前和出苗后早期阶段，用稀释的蜂蜜补充Polistes metricus Say（Hyattera：胡蜂科，Polistinae）田间蜂群。2.与对照组相比，添加饲料并没有增加巢室的数量，也没有增加被捕食的损失率或基础消失率。3接受蜂蜜补充的殖民地比对照殖民地更早地在季节中产生第一个后代。这种差异是由于从建立到第一次出现的时间跨度较短。4补充和对照群体的基础在翅长或体脂百分比方面没有差异。5补充和对照群体的后代比补充群体的母代具有更短的翅长。控制殖民地的后代有较短的翅长比foundresses的控制殖民地，但没有foundresses补充殖民地。6.对照群体后代的体脂百分比低于所有基础群体和补充群体的后代。7.补充组子代的体脂率高于其它组。
ABSTRACT. 1 Polistes metricus Say (Hymenoptera: Vespidae, Polistinae) field colonies were supplemented with dilute honey during the pre‐emergence and early post‐emergence phases of colony development. 2 Supplementation did not increase number of nest cells constructed or rates of loss to predation or foundress disappearance compared with controls. 3 Colonies receiving honey supplementation produced first offspring earlier in the season than control colonies. The difference is due to a shorter time span between founding and first emergence. 4 Foundresses of supplemented and control colonies did not differ in wing length or per cent body fat. 5 Offspring of both supplemented and control colonies had shorter wing lengths than did foundresses of supplemented colonies. Offspring of control colonies had shorter wing lengths than did foundresses of control colonies but not foundresses of supplemented colonies. 6 The per cent body fat of offspring from control colonies was lower than that of all foundresses and of offspring from supplemented colonies. 7 The per cent body fat of offspring from supplemented colonies was higher than that of all foundresses.
