在不同的动物物种中，早期生活经历对各种特征有终身影响。这些影响的范围、其含义以及驱动这些影响的机制是生物学各个学科的中心研究焦点，从生态学和进化到分子生物学和神经科学。在这里，我们回顾了早期生活在塑造成年表型和健身的蜜蜂的作用，强调蜜蜂是理想的物种，以调查在早期生活的经验及其后果在个人和群体水平的变化的可能性。蜜蜂的早期生活包括幼虫和蛹阶段，在此期间，食物供应，产妇护理和温度等因素决定了个体一生的表型轨迹。我们讨论了这些经验，包括发展速度和成年人的身体大小，影响健身在个人层面上，在人口水平上可能产生的后果影响的一些共同特征。最后，我们回顾了人类对景观的改变可能会影响蜜蜂种群通过早期生活的影响。这篇综述强调了蜜蜂的自然历史和行为生态学的各个方面，这些方面值得进一步研究，目的是了解环境干扰如何威胁这些脆弱的物种。
Across diverse animal species, early-life experiences have lifelong impacts on a variety of traits. The scope of these impacts, their implications, and the mechanisms that drive these effects are central research foci for a variety of disciplines in biology, from ecology and evolution to molecular biology and neuroscience. Here, we review the role of early life in shaping adult phenotypes and fitness in bees, emphasizing the possibility that bees are ideal species to investigate variation in early-life experience and its consequences at both individual and population levels. Bee early life includes the larval and pupal stages, critical time periods during which factors like food availability, maternal care, and temperature set the phenotypic trajectory for an individual’s lifetime. We discuss how some common traits impacted by these experiences, including development rate and adult body size, influence fitness at the individual level, with possible ramifications at the population level. Finally, we review ways in which human alterations to the landscape may impact bee populations through early-life effects. This review highlights aspects of bees’ natural history and behavioral ecology that warrant further investigation with the goal of understanding how environmental disturbances threaten these vulnerable species.
