> So the older larvae in bigger queen cells had enough fresh royal
jelly for food everyday, while the older larvae in smaller queen
cells did have enough who went on to ingest the remaining jelly left
Thanks Seth, but that's not details about the cell cups themselves. And
it's also why I attached the photo of the amount of jelly remaining in the
regular cell. When I read the words above, I wondered whether the authors
knew what they were doing when they reared the queens. Well-fed queen
larvae often have a surplus of jelly remaining after pupation.
