#onest pheromones may explain decline in queen bees Queen bees are always truthful with worker bees when it comes to communicating their reproductive status and quality.
In other words whether or not they have mated with a lot of males. hy do worker bees care if their queen is mated well?
if worker bees are able to detect poorly mated queens and take steps to remove them that could be an explanation for the rapid rates of queen loss
Finally the researchers presented the gland extracts to worker bees and observed the extent to which they were attracted to different extracts.
The team found that worker bees preferred pheromone extracts of queens that were inseminated with semen rather than saline.
or saline were preferred by worker bees. hese results suggest that queens are signaling detailed and honest information about their mating state and reproductive quality to workers
