“…The extent to which a queen is different from her working sisters is best captured by his poignant statement: "She will die without even once having tasted a flower." 14 It is widely accepted that the remarkable biological potency of royal jelly is at least partly attributable to a group of proteins known as the Major Royal Jelly Proteins (MRJPs). 11 Until recently little was known of the function and evolution of these proteins.…”

Social insect colonies need to explore and exploit multiple food sources simultaneously and efficiently. At the individual level, this colony-level behaviour has been thought to be taken care of by two types of individual: scouts that independently search for food, and recruits that are directed by nest mates to a food source. However, recent analyses show that this strict division of labour between scouts and recruits is untenable. Therefore, a modified concept is presented here that comprises the possible behavioural states of an individual forager (novice forager, scout, recruit, employed forager, unemployed experienced forager, inspector and reactivated forager) and the transitions between them. The available empirical data are reviewed in the light of both the old and the new concept, and probabilities for the different transitions are derived for the case of the honey-bee. The modified concept distinguishes three types of foragers that may be involved in the exploration behaviour of the colony: novice bees that become scouts, unemployed experienced bees that scout, and lost recruits, i.e. bees that discover a food source other than the one to which they were directed to by their nest mates. An advantage of the modified concept is that it allows for a better comparison of studies investigating the different roles performed by social insect foragers during their individual foraging histories.

“…Swarming also says that the hive is full; it is all right, that part of bees and the old queen fly out of the hive, to create a new bee family. Maurice Maeterlinck describes the preparation of the swarm to fly as the most beautiful time in the hive the day before the abdication, as the old queen voluntarily gives way to young queen [6].…”
