While workers of almost all subspecies of honeybee are able to lay only haploid male eggs, Apis mellifera capensis workers are able to produce diploid female eggs by thelytokous parthenogenesis.… Expand

- Biology
- 1 March 2000
In the 1960s, research on reproductive isolation in honeybees started with the pioneering work on Apis cerana and A. mellifera of F. Ruttner. Since then, the number of recognised Apis species… Expand
Observations and Experiments on Migration and Dance Communication of Apsis Dorsata in Sri Lanka
- N. Koeniger, G. Koeniger
- Biology
