Abstract: To compare the behavioral roles of biogenic amines in the males of primitive and advanced eusocial bees, we determined the levels of dopamine- and octopamine-related substances in the brain, and the behavioral effects of these monoamines by drug injection in the primitive eusocial bumble bee, Bombus ignitus. The levels of dopamine and its precursors in the brain peaked at the late pupal stage, but the dopamine peak extended to adult emergence.
