Koeniger et al. (Apidologie, 25: 224-238, 1994) counted spermatozoa in
drones and inseminated females of Apis koschevnikovi. Drones, for
example, were reported to have 1.7 +/- 0.16 "mio" spermatozoa.
 
I'm not familiar with the unit "mio"; I suspect that it is a German
short form for "million" (i.e. 10^6).
 
Can anyone confirm this?
 
Thanks,
