Conservation of Bio synthetic pheromone pathways in honeybees Apis.

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 May 2004

Martin Stephen J, Jones Graeme R

Abstract excerpt

Social insects use complex chemical communication systems to govern many aspects of their life. We studied chemical changes in Dufour's gland secretions associated with ovary development in several genotypes of honeybees. We found that C28-C38 esters were associated only with cavity nesting honeybee queens, while the alcohol eicosenol was associated only with their non-laying workers. In contrast, both egg-laying...
