A pheromone is a substance emitted by one organism that elicits a behavioral or physiological response in another organism of the same species and (for most pheromones) of the opposite sex.
Smell Bees smell many things. Guard bees sit or hover near the hive entrance and smell other bees trying to enter the hive. If the bees don't have the correct odor of that particular hive they are expelled. The new virgin queens produce a special odor called a sex pheromone to attract drones during the mating flight . Bees also use odors to help locate their hive, or their new home after swarming. To humans this pheromone smells lemony. When a bee stings, she releases an odor called an alarm pheromone to alert others to the danger. This alarm pheromone smells like bananas and attracts other bees to come to the defense of the hive. This pheromone stays on clothing, so if you are stung you should wash your clothing before wearing it again. The queen bee has her own pheromones in addition to the smell she produces when ready to mate.
