Pheromones of the honey bee—The secretion of the Nassanoff gland of the worker
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1969 Gas chromatographic analysis of the secretion of the Nassanoff gland of worker honey bees within 4 min of its collection indicates the presence of both isomers of citral to the combined extentof about 3 pet cent of the amount of geraniol present. Field tests show that citral is the most attractive single compound in the secretion to honey bees.
