Table 5 Glucose concentrations (mmol/ml) in the hemolymph and fat body from different locations in the 1-, 7- and 14-day-old workers (n = 40–55 bees per group) fed sugar candy only (control group) and in those fed sugar candy with various pollen additions.

From: The effect of pollen monodiets on fat body morphology parameters and energy substrate levels in the fat body and hemolymph of Apis mellifera L. workers
