Abstract	Abstract Experiments indicate that a contact surface pheromone is the prime brood recognition signal in a honeybee colony, and physical characteristics of the brood are of relatively little significance. Masking the brood surface, or removing the pheromone with solvent, lead to rejection of the brood. Application of brood pheromone extract to polyethylene blocks introduced into comb cells increased their acceptability. Worker bees discriminated between pupae of different ages: their tendency to remove or replace cell caps differed with the age of the cells' occupants.
