Food exchanges from a worker giver to a queen receiver were quantified throughout the year. 4 days old workers distribute great amounts of food to queens, about 74% in average, but variations are low. On the other hand workers of unknown age distribute amounts that are less high and varying terms of the season. A parallelism exists between percentage variations of food shared by workers of unknown age and the seasonal cycle of the 9-oxodec-2-enoic acid content of queens.
全年对从工蜂给予者到蜂王接受者的食物交换进行了量化。4日龄的工蜂会向蜂王大量分发食物,平均约为74%,但变化较小。另一方面,年龄未知的工蜂分发的食物量较少,且随季节变化。年龄未知的工蜂分享的食物百分比变化与蜂王9-氧代-2-癸烯酸含量的季节性周期之间存在平行关系。
