中华蜜蜂报警信息素的生物活性检测

The biological activity test of the Apis cerana alarm pheromones

蜜蜂是一种典型的社会性昆虫,生活在黑暗的蜂巢中,个体之间的信息交流主要是通过信息素。在蜜蜂蜂群中,信息素可以在蜂群的防卫行为中发挥重要作用。当蜜蜂受到侵害或惊扰时便进行反击,蜜蜂会从上颚腺和蜇针腺体产生报警信息素,能引起同巢守卫蜂的蜇刺反应和自卫行动。本实验对中华蜜蜂的报警信息素成分进行了检测,同时利用实验检测中华蜜蜂报警信息素的生物活性。结果表明,报警信息素能在很大程度上诱导蜜蜂的防卫行为。

The bee is a kind of typical social insects, life in the darkness of the hive, exchange of information between individuals mainly through the pheromone. In honeybee colonies, pheromones can play an important role in the defense of the swarm behavior. When bees are violated or disturbed, they will fight back, the bees will produce alarm pheromones from the upper jaw gland and venom glands, can recruit nest mates to have sting reaction and self-defense action. This experiment for the bee alarm pheromone components were tested, and at the same time using the experimental detection of the biological activity of the honeybee Apis cerana＇s alarm pheromones. Results show that the alarm pheromones can induce defense behavior.
