Impact of odorants on perception of sweetness by honey bees

2023-08-05

Abstract excerpt

Organic volatiles produced by fruits can result in overestimation of sweetness by humans, but it is unknown if a comparable phenomenon occurs in other species. Honey bees collect nectar of varying sweetness at different flowering plants. Bees discriminate sugar concentration and generally prefer higher concentrations; they encounter floral volatiles as they collect nectar, suggesting that they, like humans, could...
