A scientific note on E-β-ocimene, a new volatile primer pheromone that inhibits worker ovary development in honey bees

In social insects, larvae are completely dependent on adults to complete their development. In honey bees (Apis mellifera L.), larval development requires that larvae engage workers in nursing tasks rather than allocating energy in other activities (Le Conte and Hefetz, 2008). Indeed, in the absence of any constraint, workers tend to become active reproductive individual. The queen inhibits worker ovary development via pheromones (Hoover et al.,...
