COMPARATIVE BIONOMICS OF TEMPERATE AND TROPICAL BUMBLE BEES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO BOMBUS EPHIPPIATUS (HYMENOPTERA: APIDAE)

Abstract In laboratory colonies, 8 temperate Bombus Latreille species and the tropical montane species, B. ephippiatus Say, had significantly more first-brood workers, more rapid worker development time, and faster rates of worker production than the tropical lowland species, B. atratus Franklin. Bo...
