Mating influence in the ovary differentiation in adult queens of Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera, Apidae)
The present results show that in the ovarioles of a newly emerged (0 day) queen of A. mellifera only two regions may be distinguished: a proximal, short germarium and a very long distal, terminal filament. As the queen matures and gets ready for the nupcial flight, the germarium increases in lenght,...
