1 study
  1. Corn syrup decreases ilp1 in A. mellifera.

    “Gene expression analysis revealed upregulation of Ilp2 and Vg and downregulation of Ilp1 in 14-day-old bees fed with CS which may be linked to enhanced longevity.”

1 study
  1. Corn syrup extends lifespan in A. mellifera.

    “Bees fed CS showed the highest longevity, followed by acacia honey and white sugar, while oligosaccharide-fed bees had the lowest longevity.”
