2-Nonanol, 2-heptanol, octyl decanoate, and octyl octanoate were identified from the heads ofTrigona silvestriana workers. When presented at the nest, 2-nonanol, 2-heptanol, and the mixture of the four compounds elicited angular flights, landing, and buzzing of guard bees. Octyl octanoate elicited a weaker response. No response was given to octyl decanoate, to the ether solvent, or to the control volatile, vanillin.
从野生黄猄头蜜蜂（Trigona silvestriana）工蜂的头部鉴定出了 2-壬醇、2-庚醇、辛酸癸酯和辛酸辛酯。当在巢中呈现这些物质时，2-壬醇、2-庚醇和四种化合物的混合物引起守卫蜂的转角飞行、降落和嗡嗡声。辛酸辛酯引起的反应较弱。癸酸辛酯、乙醚溶剂或对照挥发物香草醛都没有引起反应。
