本文研究了幼蜂和成蜂营养对工蜂的影响。卵巢发育。幼虫时期饲喂高或低花粉饲料，成年后饲喂高蛋白或低蛋白饲料。在两个生命阶段，红色低蛋白饲料的卵巢发育水平最低，其次是幼虫阶段的高蛋白饲料和成年后的低质量饲料，然后是幼虫阶段蛋白质含量低但成年后蛋白质含量高的饲料。在两个生命阶段都喂食高蛋白食物的工人卵巢发育水平最高。在幼虫期和成虫期，由于饲料蛋白质的改善，卵巢发育的增加是相加的。成人饮食对体重也有影响。结果表明，幼虫储备的携带和在成虫生活期获得的营养物质对工蜂的卵巢发育都是重要的。然而，幼虫发育的残留对成虫繁殖力的影响似乎没有成虫营养那么重要。在整个育苗季节，研究了工蜂卵巢发育和质量的季节趋势。工蜂卵巢发育以春季最低，夏季最高，秋季居中。
We examined the effect of larval and adult nutrition on worker honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) ovary development. Workers were fed high or low-pollen diets as larvae, and high or low-protein diets as adults,. Workers red low-protein diets at both life stages had the lowest levels of ovary development, followed by those fed high-protein diets as larvae and low- quality diets as adults, and then those fed diets poor in protein as larvae but high as adults. Workers fed high-protein diets at both life stages had the highest levels of ovary development. The increases in ovary development due to improved dietary protein in the larval and adult life stages were additive. Adult diet also had an effect on body mass. The results demonstrate that both carry-over of larval reserves and nutrients acquired in the adult life stage are important to ovary development in worker honey bees. Carry-over from larval development, however, appears to be less important to adult fecundity than is adult nutrition. Seasonal trends in worker ovary development and mass were examined throughout the brood rearing season. Worker ovary development was lowest in spring, highest in mild-summer, and intermediate in fall.
