Quelque temps après [son éclosion], la reine quitte la ruche, accompagnée par les faux bourdons; c'est le vol nuptial, après lequel elle ne sortira plus de la ruche, du moins jusqu'au prochain essaimage. On a longtemps cru qu'au cours de ce vol un seul mâle fécondait la reine. On sait maintenant que celle-ci subit plusieurs fécondations : les spermatozoïdes sont conservés dans un réceptacle de son appareil génital, la spermathèque. 1, record 1, French, - vol%20nuptial
