| Symposium 25: Pheromonal mediation of honey bee social behavior, a symposium in honor of Mark Winston | |||
| Honey bee behavior is coordinated largely by pheromones released by the queen, workers, or brood. Indeed, honey bees are the only species with multiple chemically and behaviorally characterized releaser and primer pheromones. These pheromones regulate a wide range of behaviors, including reproduction, aggregation, grooming, brood care, and foraging. Furthermore, responses to pheromones can be modulated by physiological or social conditions, adding an additional layer of complexity to this system. With advances in genomics, it is now becoming possible to identify the genes and molecular mechanisms underlying these profound and complex effects of pheromones. | |||
