Emergence of increased division of labor as a function of group size (2007, background): “For instance, it has been experimentally shown that individual response thresholds for bumblebee workers fanning to control nest climate vary with experience (Weidenmüller 2004).”

Spatial organization and division of labour in the bumblebee Bombus impatiens (2009, background): “However, there is little evidence for further division of labour based on body size for those specific tasks found inside the nest, such as incubating brood or fanning (Foster et al. 2004; Weidenmüller 2004).”
