Ambient Air Temperature Does Not Predict whether Small or Large Workers Forage in Bumble Bees (Bombus impatiens)
Figure 4
Foragers of different body sizes did not significantly differ in the average temperatures at which they foraged (although linear fits are shown, slopes are not significantly different from zero). However, colonies differed significantly from each other. Shown are (a) ambient temperature and (b) temperature measured in nest; each data point is the average temperature across all days on which that bee foraged (each bee foraged on average on 13.9 days), and in total, 81 bees are shown.
