P. larvae Project Pilot

There were four honey bee larva that emerged as adult bees! Surprisingly, these four were located on the 24 well plate that was incubated at 35C not in the anaerobic chamber! Those were the ones that I had marked for death and looked like they were going to die soon. The larva that was hand selected from the 24 well plate that looked healthy and transferred to filter paper on a petri plate have not emerged as adult bees yet. In fact, they look closer to death than the others left on the 24 well plate. Images of the adult bees are seen below:

Conclusion: The larva not in the anaerobic chamber and left on the 24 well plate emerged as adult bees and the others that were transferred to filter paper and left in the chamber still have not.
