pheromone communication

Pheromone communication is a natural method many animals and insects use to send messages through chemical signals. These chemical substances, called pheromones, are released into the environment and detected by others of the same species. They can convey various messages, such as attracting a mate, marking territory, or warning about danger. For example, a bee queen releases pheromones to signal her presence and coordinate hive activities, while ants leave scent trails to guide others to food sources. This form of communication is efficient, discreet, and crucial for social coordination and survival in many species.
