Age-dependent morphology and ultrastructure of the cornua glands in drones of Apis mellifera
Morphologie et ultrastructure des glandes des cornules des mâles d'abeilles (Apis mellifera) en fonction de l'âge
Résumé
We investigated the age-dependent morphology and ultrastructure of the cornua glands in drones of Apis mellifera. Two epithelial types could be distinguished, each corresponding with a different type of cuticle. The thickness of both epithelia decreases during the period of sexual maturation. Ultrastructural research did not reveal a difference between the two epithelia.
