用250 μ g保幼激素类似物甲氧普烯处理的工蜂过早地从巢转移到食物储存区，并显示出早熟的觅食行为。用25和2.5 μ g处理引起轻微但不显著的作用。甲氧普烯不影响个人觅食性能测量的平均数觅食旅行/小时，平均花费的时间觅食/小时或平均持续时间的总觅食期。甲氧普烯还诱导2种报警信息素2-庚酮和乙酸异戊酯的提前产生。保幼激素调节蜂群劳动时间分工的假说得到支持。
Worker honey bees treated with 250 .mu.g of the juvenile hormone analog methoprene shifted from the broodnest to the food storage region prematurely and displayed precocious foraging behavior. Treatments with 25 and 2.5 .mu.g caused slight but non-significant effects. Methoprene did not influence individual foraging performance as measured by by mean number of foraging trips/h, mean amount of time spent foraging/h or mean duration of the total foraging period. Methoprene also induced premature production of 2 alarm pheromones, 2-heptanone and isopentyl acetate. The hypothesis that juvenile hormone regulates temporal division of labor in the honey bee colony is supported.
