Abstract
Its high phenotypic plasticity induced by nutritional factors makes Apis mellifera an excellent model organism for developmental biology studies. The queen and worker castes arise from the same genotype, developing from a bipotent larval state that responds to external stimuli during the postembryonic developmental phase. These stimuli are nutritionally well-defined dietary regimes that t…

Abstract
Beyond of ecological and economic importance, Apis mellifera is an important model for studies of developmental biology. From bipotentes larvae can be generated two phenotypically distinct female castes: queens, that deals with reproduction of nest and workers responsible for the maintenance work of the colony. The caste differentiation is due the differential feeding that queens received…
