The cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of honey bee workers develop via a socially-modulated innate process

Large social insect colonies exhibit a remarkable ability for recognizing group members via colony-specific cuticular pheromonal signatures. Previous work suggested that in some ant species, colony-specific pheromonal profiles are generated through a mechanism involving the transfer and homogenizati...
