queen mandibular pheromone
Queen mandibular pheromone, or QMP, is a honey bee pheromone produced by the queen and fed to her attendants who share it with the rest of the colony that gives the colony the sense of being queenright. Newly emerged queens produce very little QMP. By the sixth day they are producing enough to attract drones for mating. A laying queen makes twice that amount. Lack of QMP seems to attract robber bees. A study of foraging worker bees has suggested that foraging bees are not attracted to QMP.
== Chemical composition ==
Chemically, QMP is very diverse, with at least 17 major components and other minor ones. Five of these compounds are: 9-oxo-2-decenoic acid (9ODA), ''cis''- and ''trans''-9-hydroxydec-2-enoic acid (9HDA), methyl ''p''-hydroxybenzoate (HOB) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethanol (HVA).
