This document summarizes a study that investigated the effect of food during the larval stage on different life strategies among honeybee workers. The study found that honeybee larvae fed with water or mandibular gland pheromone during development had different numbers of ovarioles depending on whether they were in a queenright or queenless colony later in life, compared to control larvae, suggesting different reproductive strategies. The pheromones can indicate the presence of a queen even in queenless colonies.
