hat sich schon einer die Mühe gemacht, umfangreiche Messungen durchzuführen.

- September – large cell bee sizes average larger than the small cell bees
- November – both the small and large cell bees are essentially the same size
- October to November – abdomen width increased for all colonies
- February – newly hatched bees, in both large and small cell hives, are small and look like the early spring small cell bees
- May – most of the larger over wintered bees are gone. All bees are more uniformly sized and smaller
- July – bees are slightly larger than in May. No typical spring small cell sized bees. Large cell bees measure slightly larger than the small cell bees. The differences are discernible by measuring but not by looking at bees at the hive entrance. No visible differences
- August – bee sizes are beginning to diverge resulting in the slightly different sized September bees
Yet, I can’t tell the difference between the small cell and large cell bees without my records.There’s as much variation, throughout the year, within a hive, as there is between different cell size hives.

interessant November >>>both the small and large cell bees are essentially the same size<<<
Aber mit dem Vermessen meinte ich ja MEINE Bienen, die auf Wabenabstand 34 mm sitzen. Nämlich ob sich der Wabenabstand "messbar" auf die Größe der Biene trotz 5,4mm Zellengröße auswirkt!
