| Abstract: | Summary Forager (older) worker honeybees typically have lower midgut activity levels of chymotrypsin and trypsin than do house (younger) worker honeybees. A relation between the age correlated enzymic change and an age correlated decrease in pollen consumption is not clearly demonstrable. |
