The next year's queens are the ones that will overwinter and all of the current year bees, the workers and the queens and the drones, the males, will all die once the weather gets cold.

Dr Harwood therefore wondered if the nurses were incorporating into the royal jelly they were producing, fragments from pathogens they had consumed while eating the victuals brought to the hive by the foragers.

于是哈伍德博士想，当些保育蜂在者带到蜂巢的物时，它们是否将自己生产的蜂王浆和用的病原体碎片融合到了一起。

The queen provides certain signaling, especially through pheromones but also through some tactile or touch stimulation, in which communication goes on and the workers collectively decide whether or not they want to keep that queen.

蜂王提供特定的信号，特别是通过信息素，也通过一些触觉或触摸刺激，在种情况下，交流继续进行，工蜂集体决定是否想要留住位蜂王。

Andrew is sort of the king bee, I think, of urban beekeeping, and those of us who are his students, I think of myself as the honey sorcerer's apprentice, in a way.

安德鲁有点像是蜂王，在城市养蜂业里，作为他的学生，我觉得自己就像是蜂蜜大师的学徒。

All told, these findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, via their royal jelly, passing antigens on to the queen for inoculation into her eggs.

综上所述，些发现表明，看护蜂确实通过蜂王浆将抗原传给蚁后，以便将其接种到卵中。

And where to look, given that one of the queens can fly many miles a day, at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour?

考虑到蜂王一天能飞出数英里，飞行速度可达20英里/小时，究竟应该上哪儿去找？

If honeybees are going to protect their colony and their queen from disease, sick bees need to keep their feelers to themselves.

Specifically the queens, which emerge from hibernation in the spring to establish new colonies - a bit of a trek away.

In these colonies, a queen lays the eggs, and worker bees called nurses care for the resulting hatchlings.

They also mean, because larvae, too, receive royal jelly for the first few days after they hatch, that the nurses are inoculating their larval charges as well.

也意味着，因为幼虫在孵化后的头几天也会接受蜂王浆，所以看护蜂也在给它们的幼虫注射疫苗。

Part of the answer, discovered in 2015, is that queen bees vaccinate their eggs by transferring into them, before they are laid, fragments of proteins from diseasecausing pathogens.

2015年给出的部分答案是，蜂王在产卵前将致病病原体的蛋白质片段转移到卵中，从而为卵接种疫苗。
