Sorry for slow reply Dean, I had tried to send you a doc off list.
Here is a suggestion from my latest article in ABJ
*Schmickl, K & K Crailsheim (2004) Inner nest homeostasis in a changing
environment with special emphasis on honey bee brood nursing and pollen
supply. Apidologie 35: 249–263 This is a “must read” article for the
serious beekeeper, which can be downloaded free at http://www.apidologie.org
*
Crailsheim has also published data about the rapid turnover of protein in
the bodies of foragers, but I don't have it at hand.
