The molecular mechanisms driving honey bee fate have been revealed. Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens or ...
Queen bees emit a pheromone that attracts worker bees — the queen's daughters — to her side. The differentiation of bee larvae into either workers or queens has baffled researchers, and now a team led ...
Despite having identical genetic instructions, female honey bee larvae can develop into either long-lived reproductive queens or short-lived sterile workers who help rear their sisters rather than ...
