Caste-specific cuticular lipids in the stingless bee Friesella schrottkyi
(EDP SCIENCES S A, 2010)
While a queen control pheromone complex that inhibits worker ovary development has been described for honey bees, no comparable control pheromones have been identified for their sister group, the stingless bees. The aim ...
Chemical composition of the dufour gland secretion in queens of Melipona bicolor (Hymenoptera, Meliponini)
(2004-09-01)
We describe differences in the chemical composition of the Dufour gland secretion of virgin and physogastric queens of Melipona bicolor through gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The Dufour gland secretion of virgin ...

Behavioral responses evoked in honey bee workers by Dufour gland extracts (Hymenoptera : Apidae)
(California State University, 2001-01-01)
A series of experiments was performed to assess possible roles of the honey bee Dufour gland secretion. Bioassays with extracts of queen and worker glands from two colonies were made under artificial conditions, in which ...
Changes in the size of cephalic salivary glands of Apis mellifera and Scaptotrigona postica (Hymenoptera: Apidae) queens and workers in different life phases
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zoologia, 2010-01-01)
The bee species of the Apinae, in addition to the thoracic salivary glands, possess a pair of cephalic glands originating as branches of the excretory duct that crosses the head. These glands are known as cephalic salivary ...

The origin and evolution of queen and fertility signals in Corbiculate bees
(BioMed Central, 2015)
Abstract
Background
In social Hymenoptera (ants, bees and wasps), various chemical compounds present on the cuticle have been shown to act as fertility signals. In addition, ...
Comparative study of the cuticular hydrocarbon composition of Melipona bicolor Lepeletier, 1836 (Hymenoptera, Meliponini) workers and queens
(2003-12-01)
In social insects, cuticular hydrocarbons are involved in species, kin, caste and nestmate recognition. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to compare the cuticular hydrocarbon composition of workers, males ...
