Research abstract

Field collected queen bumblebees will be collected in early and late spring. Queens collected in late spring will be held in flight cages with males for several weeks to assure mating. Queens will be removed and placed in appropriate containers with pollen and nectar substitute. The containers will be housed in a building held at 80F and 50%RH. Queens will be observed for feeding, death or oviposition activities. Colonies will be moved into consecutively larger containers as they grow.
