Abstract： We fed Apis mellifera ligustica queen and worker larvae of different ages with a mixture of royal jelly、glucose、fructose and yeast extract.The relative amounts of food required by queen and worker larvae were determined by monitoring the food consumption of larvae until they began to defecate and spin their cocoons.The results show that the quantity of food consumed by queen and worker larvae was 196.8 mg and 139.4 mg respectively.
