Mechanistic exploration of royal jelly production in caged honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Abstract This study investigates the impact of bee pollen nutrition on the royal jelly production of honey bees (Apis mellifera).Results demonstrate that pollen diet significantly impacts hypopharyngeal gland (HPG) development and the expression of genes associated with royal jelly sansamp rack biosynthesis.Bees fed Brassica napus pollen exhibited
