摘要: We report results that address a long-standing controversy in honey bee biology, the identity of queen-produced compounds inhibit worker ovary development. As is only organism for which identities have been proposed any pheromone regulates reproduction, resolution its broad significance. examined effects synthetic queen mandibular (QMP), four newly identified retinue components, and whole-queen extracts on development caged bees. The did not alone, nor they improve efficacy QMP when applied combination. was as effective at regulation. Caged workers extract treatments had better developed ovaries than remaining queenright colonies. conclude responsible ovary-regulating pheromonal capability queens from European-derived Apis mellifera subspecies.
