Nature of brood signal activating the protein synthesis of hypopharyngeal gland in honey bees, Apis mellifera (Apidae : Hymenoptera)

“…1 Control hive (C in Fig. 1 (Brouwers, 1982 (Koeniger & Veith, 1984). While this pheromone could be used as a signal for HP gland activation, it is unlikely for two reasons.…”

Structural features trigger capping of brood cells in honey bees

“…Mechanical stimuli caused by the weight of the larva are essential for the function of the pheromone, 1,2-dioleyl-3-palmitoyl-glycerin, releasing warming behaviour (Koeniger, 1978;Koeniger andVeith, 1983, 1984). Also in ants (Brian, 1975) (Koeniger, 1978;Koeniger et Veith, 1983, 1984 (Koeniger, 1978;Koeniger und Veith, 1983Veith, , 1984 …”

Marked interspecific differences in the neuroanatomy of the male olfactory system of honey bees (genus Apis)

“…The honey bees (tribe Apini, genus Apis ) are a group of eusocial bee species (Hymenoptera: Apidae) characterized by a set of remarkable behaviors, among which the construction of perennial, colonial nests made from wax, extreme multiple mating by queens and the use by workers of a complex communication system known as the dance language (Koeniger, Koeniger, & Tingek, ; Oldroyd & Wongsiri, ). The genus consists of nine recognized species, classically divided in three groups: the dwarf honey bees (among which Apis florea ), the giant honey bees (among which Apis dorsata ), and the cavity‐nesting honey bees (among which Apis mellifera, Apis cerana , and Apis koschevnikovi ) (Hepburn & Radloff, ; Koeniger, Koeniger, & Tiesler, ; Oldroyd & Wongsiri, ; Ruttner, ). These species can be differentiated by characters such as size, nest construction, complexity of the waggle dance, division of labor, and foraging behavior among others (Arias & Sheppard, ; Koeniger et al, ; Raffiudin & Crozier, ; Ruttner, ).…”
