The Nervous System and the Senses 173 If the queen is removed from a colony and a strange queen is placed among the bees in a cage, after a day or so she has, according to the current belief, acquired the hive odor and she will be accepted if released. If a strange bee attempts to enter a hive, it is usually recog- nized at once and re- pelled, this being con- sidered as due to the possession of a different hive odor, but if a field bee returns to its own hive, it is admitted, be- cause it has the hive odor. These responses may vary according to the honey-flow and other environmental factors. In these cases and many others, there is evidence of the importance of re- sponses to odors in the behavior of bees, so that there is justification for believing that the sense of smell is of primary importance. It must be admitted that the belief in this importance is based chiefly on the ac- cumulated experiences of beekeepers rather than on careful experiments, which are sorely needed in an examina- tion of these data in order to eliminate complicating environ- mental factors. Additional evidences of odor influences are given in the discussion of Fig. 91 A, antennal Antennal organs: joint of drone, showing a few pore plates (PorPl) and a group of Forel's flasks (FFl) ; B, pore plates and Forel's flasks from drone's antenna; C, pore plates (PorPl), pegs (Pg) and tactile hairs (THr) from worker's antenna ; D, struc- ture of pore plate and tactile hair; E, structure of peg; F, structure of tactile hair ; G, structure of Forel's flask ; H, structure of pit Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Phillips, Everett Franklin, 1878-1951.
