香料的选择和偏好的变化进行检查的一大部分的euglossine蜜蜂组合的巴罗科罗拉多岛（BCI）和塞罗坎帕纳，巴拿马。普查数据是从一个为期一年的诱饵计划，利用16种化学引诱剂。间和种内的变化发生在香味的选择。在网站内，物种的香味选择相当重叠，但每个物种都被一套独特的大脑所吸引。对于某些物种来说，不同地点对不常访问的化学品的选择不同。这五个诱饵首选的大多数物种是相同的两个网站。地理变异的种内香味偏好发生在BCI和塞罗坎帕纳丰富的11个物种中的7个。在BCI上，21个物种中有16个物种的香味偏好发生了季节性变化。缺乏季节性变化是不相关的香料的数量，吸引了一个物种。有间接证据表明，蜜蜂的化学偏好会随着年龄的增长而发生变化。香料偏好发生实质性的种内变化，并与季节，年龄和地理的一些组合有关。天然香料的可用程度和个体之间的遗传差异影响对香料的选择和偏好的变化仍然是未知的。
Variation in choices and preferences for fragrances are examined for a large portion of the euglossine bee assemblages of Barro Colorado Island (BCI) and Cerro Campana, Panama. Census data were obtained from a year-long baiting program utilizing 16 chemical attractants. Inter- and intraspecific variation in fragrance choices occurred. Within sites, fragrance choices of species overlapped considerably, but each species was attracted to a unique set of brains. For some species, choices of infrequently visited chemicals differed among sites. The five baits preferred by most species were the same for both sites. Geographic variation in intraspecific fragrance preferences occurred for seven of eleven species that were abundant at both BCI and Cerro Campana. Seasonal variation in fragrance preferences occurred for 16 of 21 species on BCI. The lack of seasonal shifts was not related to the number of fragrances to which a species was attracted. Indirect evidence exists for age-dependent shifts in chemical preferences by bees. Substantial intraspecific variation in fragrance preferences occurs and is related to some combination of season, age, and geography. The degree to which natural fragrances are available and genetic differences among individuals affect variation in choices and preferences for fragrances remains unknown.
