With regard to the question as to whether VSH bees will recap bald brood, I
asked one of the researchers who are investigating the phenomenon
intimately--Dr. Jeffrey Harris at the Baton Rouge Lab.  His reply:

Hello Randy,



Yes.  We have seen all pupal stages into lightly tanned body get recapped by
VSH bees.  Purple-eyed pupae with white bodies are commonly recapped.
