Bees have been known to beg from a small cotton ball that has been rubbed agaionst the head of another offering bee. Food is passed quickly through a colony from older foraging bees, to workers that are feeding brood, producing wax, and ripening nectar. An important factor of this transfering of food occurs when an experienced forager gives food to a potential forager allowing it to determine both the scent and taste of the supply they are to seek in the future. It is not surprising that any changes in food quality, or quantity is appreciated.

Pheromones:

Pheromones are the major means of comunication within the nest. These chemical substanced, produced and discharged externally by a member of the nest portay very specific behaviourlal ans psychological responces in another member. One type of chemical stimuli is one that is released outside the nest and around the nest entrance. This is to attract other honeybees in the area. Pheromones released by a stinging worker will attract other bees to the target. Inside the nest, phermones are released by the brood which signal workers to continue foraging and also inhibit the development of the workers ovaries. The queen may have 32 or more different types of pheremones produced in her head. The concentration of the pheremone produced and the length of time that it remains in production, as well as it’s persistence may all vary. Used in different situations, the same pheremone may have different effects. The method of transfer is not completely known, but some possible maens of transmittence is through the air, physical contact, and food distribution. It is thougth that the most efficant way of pheremone distribution in nests of Apis Mellifera and Apis Cerana would be through the air. The closed interior of their nests and the absence of wind or other scents would allow for pheremone production and stability.

Although there has been no evidence of any major anntenna comminucation,
