Description The life in a bumblebee society is directed by chemical signals produced by individuals of each cast. All life-important activities such as foraging, taking care of the brood, finding the way to the food source and back to the nest as well as mating depend on pheromones to high extent. Thus, the information between individuals is chemically mediated. This article tested the communication using the male marking pheromones.
