Abstract
1. 1. The haemolymph proteins of sealed developing African worker honeybee ( Apis mellifera adansonii) were partially characterized by polyacrylamide electrophoresis. 2. 2. Both the number and concentrations of these proteins vary during development. 3. 3. Because lipid is the major energy substrate during this period of development, the fate of haemolymph lipoprotein was monitored by coupling electrophoresis to [1- 14C]palmitic acid labelling. 4. 4. In early development two lipoproteins are detectable but one of these either disappears or discontinues carrying lipids in later development. 5. 5. The capacity of the lipoproteins to carry the palmitic acid label appears to be similar throughout development. 6. 6. Total protein concentration of the haemolymph drops markedly during the course of development.
