摘要：
In laboratory tests, 2 inbred lines of honeybees (A. mellifera) different in colony defensive behavior differed in their initial general activity level, the time to react to isopentyl acetate and the initial intensity of the reaction. Evaluation of an F1 and backcrosses to both lines indicated that a more responsive phenotype was dominant to a less responsive phenotype in all 3 characteristics. The degree of dominance for time to react was estimated as 0.502 and the heritability as 0.681. It was estimated that 2 or 3 loci controlled each of the 3 components of behavior.
