What are hormones and what are pheromones?

[Finman]

Hormones move messages via blood circulations and pheromones move messages via air.

But one thing more: what are names to the things which move from mouth to mouth in the beehive. Not via air and not via blood?

Trophallaxis?

It's not easy to make a pheromone.

Human or bees'

"It is easy to make pheromones", that I would understand better as humour.

"Not easy to do " is difficult to understand what

" is difficult to understand what

Yeah, well, you're hardly in a position to complain that anyone's post is hard to understand.

It wasn't my joke - it relies on an understanding of the English language that you understandably don't possess - I did try to explain it but the post was censored - see the post https://beekeepingforum.co.uk/threads/so-long-farewell-auf-wiedersehn-goodbye.50783/ for a bit more background

I thought you were leaving? You made a whole thread about the fact?

I can only imagine what I have lost when I do not understand English.

Odd thing is that we do not have many jokes about sauna.

Bypassing those replies which seem to have veered this thread off into a weird analysis of some antique and ribald "humour", has anyone actally answered @Finman, who uncharacteristically appears to be pondering something about bees which works OK regardless of whether we humans understand it or not.

What sorts of chemical compounds other than sugars are being used by bees when they communicate by mouth? What class of chemical would they be? Are these compounds hormones or is it something even more subtle than that?

For heavens sake. I’ve explained why it was censored now if you are going to leave then do so. If you aren’t then move on

Don't worry Finny, if you like I can chat to you in my first language and you can 'not understand' Welsh for a change

My son is studying in South Wales so I'm making more trips there than I ever expected to, not just because of C19 but due to being flooded out of his accommodation last February. Anyway, on one of these trips, I learned my very first Welsh word; "cwtsh". What is wrong with you people? Is there a shortage of vowels or something?

W is strictly speaking a vowel. Double U

And Ll is actually a single letter. as is Ch, Dd, Ff, Ng, Ph, Rh, and Th but we don't have an X or a Y and Sh doesn't exist in any form but instead is written Si as in siop, or siarad
