Growth Plasticity in Nature...Honeybees
Honey bees exhibit Growth Plasticity during the larval stage, when other bees sense environmental changes that will impact the colony, chemical changes occur that affect the nutrition provided to the larvae. This impacts the types of honey bees, whether they be worker or queen caste bees.
This Growth Plasticity allows not only the individual bees to adapt, but also the entire colony as one organism. The developmental trajectories to optimize the hive’s survival are a direct result of Growth Plasticity.
A Honey Bees’ Growth Plasticity gives them a significant competitive advantage to survive and thrive in the wild.
