The most notable feature of eusocial insects is the presence of castes with division of labor, constituting the fundamental characteristic of highly social organization. In Apis mellifera, workers and queens exhibit morphological and physiological differences related to their roles in the colony. Ovary size is the main difference between these morphs and is the anatomical basis underlying…
The main difference between queens and workers of Apis mellifera is the size of their ovaries. Whereas in queens, each ovary is composed of 150-200 units serial units, termed ovarioles, this number is much lower in workers, ranging from only 2-20.
