  1. Both the honey bee larval hemolymph (H) and tissue (T) samples were collected daily for 5 days post-hatching, and peptides from days 1, 2, 4, and 5 were isotopically labeled and mixed at 1:1 (by protein amount) with day 3 peptides, which were labeled differentially from the other days. Relative peptide intensities were recorded (limited at 50-fold or 3.91 in natural log (Ln)) and proteins with a minimum of 2 quantified peptides were natural log-transformed and averaged; for proteins with greater than 5 peptides, the top 5 most intense ones were selected for averaging. In samples where there were less than 5 peptides, their absence is indicated by NA (not available).
