The Greatjon laughed. " King crabs, I hope, to sup upon such royal jelly, eh" ?

" 肯定是给螃蟹王吃的，只有它们才配享用王家果冻，是不是啊，哈哈？"

After all, there’s a lot happening with royal jelly.

毕竟，蜂王浆发生了很多变化。

Moreover, examination of this royal jelly revealed elevated levels, compared with royal jelly from bees that had not been dosed with P. larvae, of an antimicrobial peptide known as defensin-1.

而且，荧光显微镜确实证实了幼虫芽孢杆菌的碎片正在进入那些用掺有糖水的蜜蜂分泌的蜂王浆中。

But part of the secret is that royal jelly doesn’t have these development-delaying molecules.

但部分秘密在于蜂王浆没有这些发育延迟分子。

But it turns out that part of what makes royal jelly so remarkable is what isn’t inside it.

但事实证明，蜂王浆之所以如此引人注目，部分原因在于它里面没有什么。

All told, these findings suggest that nurse bees are indeed, via their royal jelly, passing antigens on to the queen for inoculation into her eggs.

综上所述，这些发现表明，看护蜂确实通过蜂王浆将抗原传给蚁后，以便将其接种到卵中。

And, sure enough, fluorescent microscopy confirmed that fragments of P. larvae were getting into royal jelly secreted by those bees which had been fed with the laced sugarwater.

果然，荧光显微镜证实了幼虫芽孢杆菌的碎片进入了那些用加了糖水的蜜蜂分泌的蜂王浆中。

They also mean, because larvae, too, receive royal jelly for the first few days after they hatch, that the nurses are inoculating their larval charges as well.

这也意味着，因为幼虫在孵化后的头几天也会接受蜂王浆，所以看护蜂也在给它们的幼虫注射疫苗。

When this team of scientists checked the two foods for plant RNAs, they found far more in beebread than in royal jelly.

当这组科学家检查这两种食物中的植物 RNA 时，他们发现蜂面包中的植物 RNA 远多于蜂王浆中的植物 RNA。

Dr Harwood therefore wondered if the nurses were incorporating into the royal jelly they were producing, fragments from pathogens they had consumed while eating the victuals brought to the hive by the foragers.

于是哈伍德博士想，当这些保育蜂在吃觅食者带到蜂巢的食物时，它们是否将自己生产的蜂王浆和食用的病原体碎片融合到了一起。

A team of Chinese researchers reported yesterday in the journal PLOS Genetics that there are plant RNAs in the slop that the rest of bees get that are mostly missing in royal jelly.

一组中国研究人员昨天在 PLOS Genetics 杂志上报道说，在其他蜜蜂获得的粪便中有植物 RNA，而蜂王浆中大部分都没有。
