Abstract
More and more research workers are using techniques which enable them to rear honeybees in the laboratory, outside the hive, and to carry out experiments on them under controlled conditions. This is adding greatly to our knowledge of the characteristics and behaviour of eggs, larvae and pupae. In the course of Dr. Cameron Jay's studies at Rothamsted Experimental Station on the development of the honeybee, he recorded observations on the appearance of pupae. These observations have much wider applications than his own experiments, and will be useful to beekeepers as well as to research workers. Dr. Jay is now Assistant Professor of Entomology in the University of Manitoba in Canada.Keywords
