蜜蜂（Apis mellifera）发出的空中声音信号包含了食物源位置的信息。蜜蜂能感知这些近场声音，并依赖它们来解码舞蹈语言的信息。舞蹈声音的特点是有节奏的空气粒子运动的高速度振幅。本研究的目的是确定用于检测近场声音信号的感觉结构。在一个操作性条件反射实验中，蜜蜂被训练对声音做出反应。消融实验与这些受过训练的蜜蜂发现，既不是mechanosensory毛的天线或头部，也不是刚毛领域的关节的天线，但约翰斯顿的器官，弦音器官的花梗的天线，是用来检测近场的声音在蜜蜂。
Airborne sound signals emitted by dancing honeybees (Apis mellifera) contain information about the locations of food sources. Honeybees can perceive these near field sounds and rely on them to decode the messages of the dance language. The dance sound is characterized by rhythmical air particle movement of high velocity amplitudes. The aim of the present study was to identify the sensory structures used to detect near field sound signals. In an operant conditioning experiment, bees were trained to respond to sound. Ablation experiments with these trained bees revealed that neither mechanosensory hairs on the antennae or head nor bristle fields at the joints of the antenna, but Johnston's organ, a chordotonal organ in the pedicel of the antenna, is used to detect near field sound in honeybees.
