Queens  from crowded honey bee colonies which were preparing to swarm 
contained no  less queen substance [ (E)-9-oxodec-2-enoic acid ] than similar-age 
queens  from uncrowded colonies not preparing to swarm. 



Has there been a study on the distribution of queen substance in crowded  
compared with uncrowded colonies?
