This study shows Bombus terrestris workers can learn to associate novel odors with queen context, influencing their social and reproductive behavior.

This study investigates short-range multimodal signals from gynes in bumble bees and finds that visual cues and pheromones are essential for male attraction and mating.

This study shows that sublethal imidacloprid exposure reduces mating success in bumble bees by disrupting semiochemical production and perception.

The paper identifies differentially expressed genes in the Dufour's gland of Bombus impatiens queens and workers, revealing pathways for caste-specific chemical signal biosynthesis.
