Abstract

A study was made on the acceptance and rearing of queen larvae in queenright colonies. Larvae grafted in queen cups were reared by the colonies, regardless of the queen's presence or absence in the brood-rearing part of the hive. The experiments were carried out during July and August in Israel when no swarming occurs.
