Abstract
Bombus vagans forages for nectar at 5 degrees C in shade and at 31 degrees C in sunshine. The production of heat while the bumblebee is on flowers, at ambient temperatures below 24 degrees C, helps to maintain a thoracic temperature that is near the minimum for flight between flowers. However, at ambient temperatures above 24 degrees C the thoracic temperature is no longer regulated at 32 degrees to 33 degrees C and rises.
摘要
熊蜂在 5 摄氏度的阴凉处和 31 摄氏度的阳光下采集花蜜。当熊蜂在环境温度低于 24 摄氏度的花朵上时，它会产生热量，这有助于维持接近花朵间飞行的最小胸温。然而，在环境温度高于 24 摄氏度时，胸温不再调节在 32 到 33 摄氏度之间，而是上升。
