Table 6 Triglyceride concentrations (mmol/ml) in the hemolymph and fat body from different location 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 added pollen.

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
