Abstract

During the investigation of the infection of the ventriculus of the honeybee by Nosema apis, information was needed of the passage of pollen grains through the intestine. Some of the work of Whitcomb & Wilson (1929) was repeated for this purpose and results contradictory to those of these workers were obtained, particularly those concerning the action of the proventriculus.
