Abstract
Intraspecific chemical communication by means of pheromones is widespread in arthropods and is believed to have played a particularly important role in the evolution and the efficiency of social forms of life that have developed in several insect species. Using the honey bee queen pheromone as an example, this chapter discusses several ways in which the study of the evolution of chemical communication can potentially contribute to the resolution of a number of questions of vital importance for a better understanding of the evolution of sociality.
