organism: Ceratina calcarata
description: Sample of six adult female Ceratina calcarata brains collected from four nests found in raspberry stems on November 12, 2021 in Toronto, Canada. These nests were chilled at four degrees Celsius until adults were removed between January 24th and 29th, 2022 for brain dissections. One adult female brain was then sampled from three different nests (W004-1, W006-1, W009-1). Three adult female brains were sampled from a fourth nest (W020-1, W020-5, W020-6) that also contained three adult males. All six females showed minimal wing wear (median: 0) indicative of a pre-foraging status.
