雄性新热带兰花蜂（Euglossini）从兰花和其他来源收集挥发性化学物质，并将其储存在后腿腔中。积累的香味花束随后在交配地点散发。虽然大多数其他昆虫从头合成信息素混合物，但特定的euglossine香水来自不断变化的香水市场中的积极选择。三种Euglossa雄蜂具有独特的香味表型，在中美洲大陆的地方和栖息地变化不大。在笼子里的实验中，男性Euglossa imperialis的香味选择的影响显着蜜蜂的收集历史。收集一种特定的化学物质会大大降低它在随后的场合中的吸引力，这种影响会持续几天。在实验中，将化学物质直接添加到蜜蜂的后腿上没有产生任何效果。我们的结论是，蜜蜂学习和记住他们收集的化学物质。先天的气味偏好，记忆和避免过度收集的负反馈可能是主要的机制，确保这些热带森林蜜蜂的信息素类似物的独特混合物。
Male neotropical orchid bees (Euglossini) collect volatile chemicals from orchid flowers and other sources and store them in hind leg cavities. The accumulated fragrance bouquets are later emitted at mating sites. Although most other insects synthesize pheromone blends de novo, specific euglossine perfumes are derived from active choices in a changing fragrance market. Male bees of three species of Euglossa possessed distinctive fragrance phenotypes showing little variation by locality and habitat in mainland Central America. In cage experiments, fragrance choice by male Euglossa imperialis was influenced markedly by a bee's collection history. Collection of a given chemical strongly reduced its attractiveness on subsequent occasions, an effect that was retained over days. Experimentally adding the chemicals directly to bee hind legs produced no effect. We conclude that bees learn and remember chemicals they collect. Innate odor preferences, memory and the avoidance of overcollecting by negative feedback may be the primary mechanisms that ensure unique blends of pheromone analogs in these tropical forest bees.
