Honey bee (Apis mellifera) larval pheromones may regulate gene expression related to foraging task specialization

Abstract Background Foraging behavior in honey bees (Apis mellifera) is a complex phenotype that is regulated by physiological state and social signals. How these factors are integrated at the molecular level to modulate foraging behavior has not been well characterized. The transition of worker bee...
