| Abstract: | Conditioned honeybee workers can discriminate between enantiomeric pairs which are both congruous and incongruous odorants for human beings. These results are discussed in terms of appropriately chiral chemoreceptors, which would enable honeybee workers to distinguish floral odor sources that differ only in enantiomeric identity. |
