摘要：

How do honey-bees integrate cues in nestmate recognition? Honey-bees are able to discriminate nestmates from non-nestmates using olfactory cues or contact chemoreception. Nestmates may differ from non-nestmates in either cues produced by the individuals, which have a genetic basis, or in cues that are acquired from the hive environment. Recognitive cues are learned by worker bees early in adult life; the learned cue profile serves as a template for comparison and determination of the colonial membership of bees that are encountered. We report here the response of bees to two cues: hexadecane and methyl docosonoate.
