摘要：

Polistes annularis females store honey in their nests in autumn. They return to their nests on warm winter days, eat honey, and defend it from non-sisters. Honey deprivation decreases numbers surviving the winter; females that do survive without honey build smaller spring nests. Copyright © 1979 AAAS.
