Apis cerana larvae, about 2 days before being sealed. Unless you start with brand new foundation for Apis mellifera, you do not see beeswax this white for brood cells. In Apis cerana, they do not seem to recycle the wax for brood cells as much as our bees. Viewed: 1149 times.
|
Apis cerana workers on capped brood. A. cerana probably never reuses old wax for brood capping (as the mellifera do), since the brood capping is almost as clean as the honey capping. Viewed: 1069 times.
