    o-Aminoacetophenone, a pheromone that repels honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) (1988)
    Springer
    Cellular and molecular life sciences 44 (1988), S. 270-271 
    Details
    ISSN: 1420-9071
    Keywords: Pheromone ; social behavior ; honeybee
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary o-Aminoacetophenone is a pheromone produced by virgin honeybee queens and released with feces. In small social groups, the pheromone repels and is used to terminate agonistic interactions between queens and workers.

    Genetic structure and division of labor in honeybee societies (1989)
    Springer
    Cellular and molecular life sciences 45 (1989), S. 765-767 
    Details
    ISSN: 1420-9071
    Keywords: Social behavior ; honeybee ; division of labor ; behavior genetics
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Medicine
    Notes: Summary Recent studies have demonstrated a genotypic component to the division of labor among worker honeybees. However, these studies used artificially-selected strains of bees or colonies derived from queens that were instrumentally inseminated with the semen from very few males. We present evidence for genotypic variability among groups of workers performing tasks in colonies with naturally-mated queens. These results demonstrate that genetic structure is a level of social organization in honeybees.

    Honeybee nestmate recognition: Effects of queen fecal pheromones (1992)
    Springer
    Journal of chemical ecology 18 (1992), S. 1633-1640 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-1561
    Keywords: Apis mellifera ; honeybee ; Hymenoptera ; Apidae ; queen ; fecal ; pheromones ; esters ; kin recognition
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract Previous work has shown that queen honeybees,Apis mellifera, produce waxy esters composed of 8–14 carbon acids and 6–14 carbon alcohols in their feces. We tested these esters for effects on nestmate recognition; 11 of the 12 esters tested significantly modified the recognition characteristics of worker honeybees. Pairwise tests showed that workers can discriminate between at least some pairs of queen esters and that workers can discriminate between a queen ester and hexadecane (another known nestmate recognition cue). These results suggest that a queen may use the esters to enable workers to recognize her or to scent-mark her colony.
