Abstract
The juvenile hormone (JH) plays a key role in the development of honeybee larvae and the alteration of adult behavior. Verification methods of types and stereoisomers of JHs in honeybees were established in this study. The regulatory modes of different stereoisomers of JH III on the social behaviors of honeybees were revealed by the disparity of interaction and RNA-seq. This result represented the first assessment of the effects of R-JH III and S-JH III in honeybee interactions; the former (367 times in total) was significantly higher than the latter (235 times in total); honeybees with high JH titers are always welcome in the colony because the effect of JH III on bees involves the sensing and signaling of hormones, and R-JH III is much more active than S-JH III in this regulation. Efficient R-JH III may be the insurance for bees to establish their social system advantages.
