They are decreas- ingly smaller in Psi- thyrus, Andrena and Anthophora. Since the feeding of some of these species is entirely unlike that of the honeybee, this evolution perhaps proves too much for this theory. Schonfeld,3 on the contrary, holds that the larval food arises in the ventriculus and not in these.
