Zusammenfassung:Sensory pegs, hair plates, and campaniform sensilla associated with the sting of the honeybee (A. mellifera L.) are described and illustrated via scanning electron microscopy. These sensory receptors are likely external proprioceptors and their presence further elucidates the function of the honeybee sting. The topographical ultrastructure of the stings of honeybee queens and workers is compared.
