[1925R. E. Snodgrass Anat. & Physiol. Honeybee iv. 114 The abdominal scent glands, called also the glands of Nassonoff after their discoverer... The scent glands were first noted by Nassonoff, whose description and crude illustration were published by Zoubareff (1883).] 1953Proc. R. Soc. B. CXL. 57 It seems likely that covering the Nasanov gland did not completely suppress the odour. 1959Ann. Rev. Entomol. IV. 46 A hive-specific component was superimposed on the Nassanoff pheromone. 1969R. F. Chapman Insects xxxvi. 735 Honey bees have two important glands producing pheromones: the mandibular glands in the head and Nassanoff's gland in the abdomen. 1981Sci. Amer. June 122/3 They arrive at the entrance of the cavity ahead of the mass of bees and release scent from the Nassanoff glands at the tip of their abdomen. 1981Ann. Entomol. Soc. Amer. LXXIV. 67/1 Most swarms moved to the cage with the foreign queen and the artificial Nassanoff pheromone rather than to their own queen caged with paraffin oil. |
