Size variation in eggs laid by normal-sized and miniature queens of Plebeia remota (Holmberg) (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini)

Size variation in eggs laid by normal-sized and miniature queens of Plebeia remota (Holmberg) (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini)

Miniature stingless bee queens have been studied concerning frequency distribution, production and egg laying performance. This study aimed to investigate size variation in eggs laid by Plebeia remota (Holmberg) queens and whether it is due to differences in queen size or colony conditions. A sample...
