 My results suggest that birth weight is linked to

 more responsive to sucrose than lighter individuals.

So like the junk artificial sugars and HFCS better?

continuing: 
 Taken together, the results of this experiment imply a
 close link between sensory responsiveness, birth weight and
 division of labour in a honeybee colony.

reply:
Don't think so as can be seen differently by others, for IMPOV bees forage also relative to what blooms their bodies fit into.

 Birth weight and sucrose responsiveness predict cognitive
 skills of honeybee foragers
 
reply:
No don't think so, for size also regulates again what blooms their bodies can fit into for nectar getting, which was written about much earlier over in Europe.
