Nest-mate recognition template of guard honeybees (Apis mellifera) is modified by wax comb transfer

In recognition, discriminators use sensory information to make decisions. For example, honeybee (Apis mellifera) entrance guards discriminate between nest-mates and intruders by comparing their odours with a template of the colony odour. Comb wax plays a major role in honeybee recognition. We measur...
