From: Cuticular pheromones stimulate hygienic behavior in the honey bee (Apis mellifera)
Hygienic responses at 4 and 24 h after treatment of brood cell caps with 0.1%, 0.3%, or 1% Z6-C15 in hexane, 0.1%, 0.3%, or 1% Z7-C15 in hexane, or hexane. Hollow rectangles represent mean hygienic response over the three concentrations tested. Letters indicate significant differences in mean hygienic responses between treatment groups for all concentrations tested. Compared to either control, Z6-C15 elicited significantly greater hygienic responses at both 4 and 24 h after treatment.
