Also doing some reading for a seen exam, I came across the following passage in a scientific paper about how male bumble bees (Bombus terrestris) “plug” the females after mating in an attempt to stop her mating again.

One plugged queen used in the second experiment was mistakenly not separated from the male after the mating trial. She subsequently mated again with the same male (she was the only naturally mated queen that ever mated again) and was frozen at -80 °C immediately after the end of the second copulation (this queen was excluded from the analyses).

What appealed to me was the way they saw it necessary to freeze the queen immediately at - 80 °C. It reveals a little about the scientific mind. The researchers were Swiss…
