when worker larvae hatch, they are pro-
vided  with  jelly from  the brood  food glands
of  the  nurses  (Hanser  and  Rembold,
1964; Rembold, 1974) until they reach an
age of 3.5 d.  Afterwards, they receive a
mixture of jelly,  honey  and pollen; this lat-
er food mixture has less protein but more
carbohydrates  (von  Rhein,  1956;  Kunert
and Crailsheim, 1987).
