Queen Mandibular Pheromone
Honeybee queens spend their lives literally surrounded by a
retinue of worker bees. The workers are attracted to her by a
pheromone that she releases from her mandibular glands.
The queen bee exerts her influence over the hive by means of the
Queen Mandibular Pheromone (QMP). This acts as a mating attractant
for the drones, and to suppress the reproductive systems of the
workers, ensuring that the queen is the only reproductive female in
the hive.
QMP is only effective in suppressing ovary development in workers
when all components are present. Young virgin queens cannot oxidise
9-ODA to 9-HDA, whereas mated queens and older virgin queens can
perform this oxidation. QMP is distributed around the hive by food
sharing, and as long as the queen substance circulates by this
method, the workers know that the queen is present. If the queen is
removed, QMP no longer circulates the hive, and the workers begin to
feed royal jelly to larvae to produce a new queen. QMP also acts to
keep the swarm together when the queen leaves the hive with the
swarm.
The QMP, emitted by the queen, is one of the most important
pheromones in the bee hive. It effects social behavior, maintenance
of the hive, swarming, mating behavior, and inhibition of ovary
development in worker bees. The effects are short and long term.
Some of the chemicals found in QMP are carboxylic acids and aromatic
compounds.
