Honey
Bees
(Continued from Pag* B 18)
ponents of the secretion bees use
to determine forage patterns.
The companies imitated the
marker using the nasonov
pheromone. The chemical is
then placed on target crops -
like apple trees - and will
attract honey bees to the area.
Tew said honey bees can
probably memorize two to three
blossom types at one time.
"There's such a large variety of
blooms in the world, and it's
important apple trees don't get
overlooked as bees head out of
the hive in search of food."
By using the chemical cue
markers in an orchard, scien
tists can make sure apple trees
are on the bees' list of "great
restaurants."
