Differences in nest mate recognition for drones and workers in the honeybee, Apis mellifera (L.)
Article Abstract:
The effects of genotypic composition of both host and mother colony on the acceptance of foreign workers and drones in honeybee colonies are examined. The findings indicate that genetically derived odour cues are important for honeybee nestmate recognition in drones
