Abstract

The fertilization and hibernation of queen bumblebees under controlled conditions is essential if these useful insects are ever to be domesticated, or semi. domesticated, by man. Experiments of this nature were conducted during 1916, 1917, 1919 and 1920. The results prove that the fertilization and hibernation of certain species of queen bumblebees can be obtained under controlled conditions.
