1. Chemical communication facilitates colony function across social insects, providing workers with information about individual and colony state. Although workers use chemical cues to detect developmental transitions in individuals, it is unknown whether workers can also use colony‐level chemical profiles to detect the developmental state of their colony. Indeed, it is largely unknown how colony‐level chemical profiles change as colonies grow and develop.

蜂群水平的化学特征不能提供关于蜜蜂蜂群大小的可靠信息

1. 化学通讯促进了群居昆虫的群体功能，为工人提供有关个体和群体状态的信息。尽管工人使用化学线索来检测个体的发育转变，但工人是否也可以使用菌落水平的化学特征来检测其菌落的发育状态尚不清楚。事实上，随着菌落的生长和发育，菌落水平的化学特征如何变化在很大程度上是未知的。
