Journal Article
Origin and chemistry of the secreted nest entrance lining of Halictus hesperus (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)
1984
Overview
The female sweat bee Halictus (Seladonia) hesperus lines her nest entrance with a whitish material which originates in large part from her Dufour's gland and possibly from the salivary glands. The lining is formed from the same macrocyclic lactones and alkanes that together compose 88% of the total female's Dufour's gland extract. A possible function of the nest entrance lining is to reinforce the walls of loose excavated tumulus.
