Description

Compositions of the venomous principles in worker and queen honey bees (Apis mellifera) during their maturation were examined in two criteria by the pattern analysis of electrophoresis and that of high performance liquid chromatography. The venom of well matured worker bee showed electrophoretically 13 proteinous bands including those corresponding to phospholipase A_2,melittin, apamin and MCD-peptide. On the other hand, in the queen bee venom, the band corresponding to MCD-peptide was not detected but the two additional unknown components were found. The amounts of the venomous components in both worker and queen bee venoms increased remarkably within 14 days after eclosion.
