Figure 1
The mixed-species colony with an A. cerana cerana queen, A. cerana cerana workers and A. mellifera ligustica workers.
The yellow circle indicates the Acc queen. Blue and green arrows indicate Aml and Acc workers, respectively. The mixed-species colony was organized as follows: we put two sealed Aml brood frames with about 5,000 pupae into a healthy Acc colony containing two frames, honey, pollen, brood, ∼5,000 workers and one queen. The mixed-species colony had around 5,000 workers each of Acc and Aml after 12 days.
