Chemical signals in the stingless bee, Frieseomelitta varia, indicate caste, gender, age, and reproductive status.

Journal of chemical ecology - 1 Oct 2009

Nunes Túlio M, Turatti Izabel C C, Lopes Norberto P, Zucchi Ronaldo

Abstract excerpt

Chemical compounds on the cuticle are a rich source of information used during interactions among social insects. Despite the multitude of studies on these substances and their function in ants, wasps, and honeybees, little is known about this subject in stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Melip...
