Modulation of sucrose response thresholds in honey bees (Apis mellifera L.): influence of genotype, feeding, and foraging experience.

Journal of comparative physiology. A, Sensory, neural, and behavioral physiology - 1 May 2001

Pankiw T, Waddington K D, Page R E

Abstract excerpt

The perception of sugar is important to honey bees for making foraging decisions. We measured bees' perception by determining what concentration of sucrose touched to the antennae elicited the proboscis extension response (response threshold). A low response threshold (extension at low concentration) suggests a high perceptual value of sucrose. and vice versa. Perception of sucrose solutions differed between two...
