Honey bees for the field assay were obtained from brood frames collected from the colonies of the experimental apiary (established 1 year prior to the start of the assays, including population and mated queens of the same genetic line). Newly emerged honey bees were incubated for 2 days at 30...
Ribbands [17] concluded that the von Frischs' thresholds of perception for these two scents were not representative of the most sensitive 25% of the human population. Whereas von Frisch concluded that bees could only recognize methyl heptenone in a 1:2000 dilution, he found tha...
