Olfactory and behavioral response thresholds to odors of diseased blood differ between hygienic and non-hygienic honey bees (Apis mellifera L.).

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

Abstract excerpt

Through the use of proboscis-extension reflex conditioning, we demonstrate that honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) bred for hygienic behavior (a behavioral mechanism of disease resistance) are able to discriminate between odors of healthy and diseased brood at a lower stimulus level than bees from a non-hygienic line. Electroantennogram recordings confirmed that hygienic bees exhibit increased olfactory sensitivity...
