Key Takeaway Key Takeaway: Bumblebee queens show better survival and post-diapause performance at temperatures between 5 and 15°C and durations of 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 months.
Abstract
Diapause survival and post‐diapause performance (i.e., if a queen starts to lay eggs) of in total 2210 bumblebee queens (Bombus terrestris) were measured under different diapause regimes: 5 temperatures (−5, 0, 5, 10 and 15 °C) in combination with 5 durations of exposure (1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 months).
