Abstract
The effect of the presence of a queen, pollen feeding, and the presence of worker comb on ovary development of worker bees of European and African origin were assessed after they had been caged for 10 days. There was no significant difference in ovary development of workers of European and African origin. The presence of worker comb appeared to stimulate ovary development in workers in cages without queens when pollen was present, or absent, in the diet. No eggs were found in any of the cages.
