Adnexal Glands of the Sting Apparatus of Bees: Anatomy and Histology, II (Hymenoptera: Halictidae)

In this anatomical and histological study of the sting apparatus glands of seven species of Halictidae, all species were found to have the acid gland well developed and closely related to the sting. The basic gland is also well developed; its secretion most probably serves the purpose of water-proof...

The basic gland is also well developed; its secretion most probably serves the purpose of water-proofing the inner walls of the cells at the time of nest building.
