Abstract
- In order to test the hypothesis whether the queen can mark pheromone on the wall of the cells where the queen laid eggs, three experiments were designed and conducted. The first experiment was to transfer three kinds of eggs–queen laid diploid eggs (QD), queen laid haploid eggs (QH) and worker laid haploid eggs (WH), which came from the same colony into the cells where the queen has laid eggs and has not laid eggs respectively, then observing and counting the number of eggs remaining. The second experiment is similar to the first one, but three kinds of eggs came from the different colonies. The third experiment used only QD to investigate. The results of these experiments did not support the hypothesis that the queen can mark pheromone in the wall of the cell, but supported the viewpoints of worker policing and recognizing in the honeybee
