“…It is believed that clustering of the honey bees around their queen right after they leave their original hive is largely due to attraction of the bees to some of the pheromones laid by the queen. In particular, it is believed that the two pheromones 9oxodecenoic acid and 9-hydroxydecenoic acid affect the cluster formation and stability in swarming honey bees [10,11,77,73,3] since the bees are attracted to these pheromones. Researchers believe that these two pheromones act together in a sense that 9-oxodecenoic acid attracts bees towards the queen from large distances, whereas 9-hydroxydecenoic acid "stabilizes" (or keeps cohesive) the cluster on short distances.…”

“…In Chapter 5 we considered the problem of modeling and analysis of the aggregation and cohesiveness of honey bee clusters and in-transit swarms. In the honey bee literature there are many experimental results published [101,76,10,11,77,73,3,1,95,91]; however, there have not been any mathematical models developed. Even though the analysis in the chapter is not very rigorous, it is (to best of our knowledge) the first attempt to create a mathematical model for the clustering or swarming behavior of honey bees.…”

“…Workers expose the groove on finding the entrance to their hive (Sladen, 1901;Butler et al, 1970) or when foraging, either at a source of water (Free and Williams, 1970) or artificial food, such as a dish of sugar syrup (von Frisch, 1923;Free and Williams, 1972). During swarming, workers expose the groove while flying (Morse and Boch, 1971;Avitabile et al, 1975), on the swarm cluster, or near a queen lost from the cluster (Mautz et al, 1972;Boch and Morse, 1974).…”
