Haemolymph proteins of the honey bee— II. differentiation during the development of bee workers

1.1. The haemolymph proteins of the developing honey bee workers have been investigated by means of dics electrophoresis, double-diffusion and immunoelectrophoresis using antisera against haemolymph of larvae and adults.2.2. Larval haemolymph proteins have been found in 3-day-old eggs.3.3. Only slig...

Summary:1.1. The haemolymph proteins of the developing honey bee workers have been investigated by means of dics electrophoresis, double-diffusion and immunoelectrophoresis using antisera against haemolymph of larvae and adults.2.2. Larval haemolymph proteins have been found in 3-day-old eggs.3.3. Only slight changes of haemolymph proteins occurred during the larval stage.4.4. The first appearance of “adult” proteins was recorded in white pupae.5.5. In tanned pupae most of the haemolymph proteins were of the “adult” type.6.6. Three main patterns of haemolymph proteins—larval, adult and common to all stages—have been determined during the development of a bee worker from egg to adult.
