Queens from crowded honey bee colonies which were preparing to swarm
contained no less queen substance [ (E)-9-oxodec-2-enoic acid ] than similar-age
queens from uncrowded colonies not preparing to swarm.
Has there been a study on the distribution of queen substance in crowded
compared with uncrowded colonies?
