on the discovery channel i was watching a thing about beez and africanized beez emmit pheromones to warn the rest of the colony that there is an intruder. Then after they sting a person or whatever in the stinger there is pheros so the target is market and then the other million bees go stinging.
i just found this very interesting that pheros are used for sex and to trigger alarm.

Pheromones are very trippy. Almost like a sort of language that’s been around longer than mammals have. I bet science is just touching the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding how these little molecules regulate all types of social interactions.

In animals pheromones are used for a lot more purposes than just sexual attraction. Probably the same is true for us, although we mainly discuss sexual attraction through pheromones here.
