REPLYING TO A. Buttstedt, C. H. Ihling, M. Pietzsch & R. F. A. Moritz Nature 537, 10.1038/nature19349 (2016)

In the accompanying Comment1, Buttstedt et al. investigated the effects of royalactin on queen differentiation in honeybees, and claimed that there is no effect of royalactin on queen development, contrary to my findings2. However, the experimental conditions in Buttstedt et al. do not appear to be adequate to induce queen honeybee differentiation.
