摘要：

A model is proposed for heat production and thermoregulation in the winter cluster of the honey bee Apis mellifera. It describes heat production within the cluster by an exponential decrease from the periphery to the centre, and takes into account threshold values for the central and the peripheral temperatures as well as changing diameters of the cluster. The results agree well with experimental data. © 1990 Academic Press Limited.
