PARTIAL-BODY RADIATIONS OF QUEEN HONEY BEES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4090294

By shielding abdominal segments III through V queen honey bees survived otherwise lethal doses of x radiation. In contrast, irradiating only segments III through V with 10,000 r killed all queens within three weeks, as did wholebody irradiations. Lead shields that protect segments III through V and permit irradiating either the spermatozoa in the spermatheca or the oogonia of the ovary with higher doses than could otherwise be adminlstered are described.
