 Once inside the colony of "A. florea", the non-natal workers of "A. andreniformis" may attempt to lay their own eggs in order to continue propagating their species, an action known as reproductive parasitism.In a study conducted by Sitthipong Wongvilas et al., they found that most eggs laid by the non-natal "A. andreniformis" were policed by the queenright workers of the "A. florea" colony.Although they adopted "A. andreniformis" workers in the hive, "A. florea" workers policed non-natal larva, thereby preventing interspecies parasitism.
