Head Kairomone components from head of robber bee Lestrimelitta limao that induce defensive behavior Citral 85 86, 6-methylhept-5-en-2-one 106 [156]... 

Disarming Pheromones. Certain species of both bees and ants raid colonies of other species of social insects in order to appropriate either food or foreign workers which eventually function as slaves. In the American tropics, the stingless bee Lestrimelitta limao disarms colonies of other stingless bees... 

South American colony-forming robber bees Lestrimelitta limao) steal nectar and pollen from the nests of related bee species. During their attack, they secrete large amounts of citral as an allomone, which raises their own aggressiveness but confuses the victim, rendering it defenceless. [168]...

Recently the sesquiterpene a-farnesene has been demonstrated to be a constituent of the secretion of Dufour s gland in the ant Aphaenogaster longiceps [736], while citral has been shown to serve as a recruiting pheromone when workers of the stingless bee, Lestrimelitta limao, attack the nests of other stingless bees [736 a].
