• In an experiment to explore the effect of the amount of flesh food on the number, larval duration, and body size of first brood workers in a paper wasp, Polistes chinensis antennalis, founding queens were forced to rear their first brood workers under three levels of flesh food availability in cages. The number of first brood workers increased and their larval duration decreased from low to high food levels. On the other hand, the body size of first brood workers was the largest under a surplus food supply, but only slightly larger than the field value, and it did not differ between middle and low food levels. Queens seem to rear their first brood workers in a manner to make many adults as early as possible according to the food availability under constraint that workers have a minimum effective body size and maximum larval developmental speed.
