SummaryTen forager honeybees from Caucasian and from Cordovan mutant Italian colonies in a wire-screen flight cage were marked, and conditioned to collect sucrose solution placed above petri dishes scented with citral or geraniol. Recruits from colonies conditioned to citral alone or to geraniol alone were attracted to the training scent in greater numbers when it was presented alone than when in combination with the other scent; very few were attracted to the other scent alone or to the unscented dishes. A large number of recruits from a wild-type Italian colony conditioned to citral + geraniol were attracted to dishes with the combination of scents and fewer to dishes with a single scent. Recruits from the same colony were not attracted to any of the scented dishes while its foragers were conditioned to gather sucrose from an unscented training station.
