Longevity of starved bumblebee queens (Hymenoptera: Apidae) is shorter at high than low temperatures

Northern bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) with annual lifecycles depend both on energy stores remaining in their fat body after diapause and a few spring flowering plants. Most temperate bumblebees emerge gradually over several months after winter depending on the species and within species on the l...
