> Phillip, there are a lot of jobs that the workers perform between nurse and forager. I just finished Mark Winston's "Biology of the Honey Bee" (great read by the way), and he has two really good tables in there of the jobs that workers do at various ages, based on various studies.
This one tabulates all that info into a bar graph, so you can see how it relates more easily, instead of just the hard numbers.
