Techniques for counting ovariole number in virgin and mated Apis mellifera L. queens have been described in previous studies. Having a systematic and fast way to collect this measurement can help accelerate bee breeding programs, because selection decisions can be taken faster. The aim of this work was to develop an efficient histological method to preserve ovaries that allows assessing the number of ovarioles in newly emerged virgin queens, and also in mated queens, in a shorter time than the m ...[more]
