Pete, I'm not seeing that the two studies are related. "Winter" bees are
typically reared from well-fed larvae, reared on fall pollen flows.  As far
as I can tell, they have very different physiology than those of the
nutritionally-stressed bees in the Wang papers.

Also, did you catch the contradictory results in 7-day body mass between
the two papers?  I've written the senior author for explanation.

I suspect that two different phenomena are at play here, regarding "winter
bees" and summer starved bees.
