Abstract
⺠Honeybees learned odour cues associated with pollen reward. ⺠Honeybees transferred memories of learned odour cues associated with pollen between behavioural contexts. ⺠Learned odour triggered reactivation of bees to a past pollen-foraging site. ⺠Bees showed proboscis extension reflex (PER) conditioning with different types of hand-collected pollen as reward. ⺠Odour-pollen association did not rely on amino acids but on sugars and fatty acids.
