Antennal hygroreceptors of the honey bee, Apis mellifera L., have been investigated electrophysiologically and the sensillum containing these receptors with SEM. Moist and dry hygroreceptors have been identified along with a thermal receptor in a specialized coeloconic sensillum. This sensillum comprises a cuticular, shallow depression (diameter; 4 micrometer) having a central opening (1.4-1.5 micrometer) and a mushroom-shaped protrusion (1.4-1.5 micrometer) from the opening. The head of the protrusion is irregular in shape and is not perforated. This sensillum has been thus far referred to as a "sensillum campaniformium" (Dietz and Humphreys 1971), henceforth, it is referred to as a coelocapitular sensillum. The responses of both moist and dry hygroreceptors are of a phasic-tonic manner. Both receptors are antagonistic with respect to their responses to humidity; one responds with an increase in impulse frequency to rising humidity, the other to falling humidity. The humidity-response relationship is independent of stimulus flux.
对意大利蜜蜂（Apis mellifera L.）的触角湿度感受器进行了电生理学研究，并用扫描电子显微镜对含有这些感受器的感器进行了观察。在一种特殊的腔锥感器中，已识别出湿敏和干敏湿度感受器以及一个热感受器。这种感器包括一个角质化的浅凹陷（直径4微米），其有一个中央开口（1.4 - 1.5微米）以及从该开口处伸出的一个蘑菇状突起（1.4 - 1.5微米）。突起的头部形状不规则且无穿孔。这种感器迄今为止被称为“钟形感器”（迪茨和汉弗莱斯，1971年），从今以后，将其称为腔头感器。湿敏和干敏湿度感受器的反应均呈位相 - 紧张型。两种感受器对湿度的反应是拮抗的；一种感受器随着湿度升高冲动频率增加，另一种则对湿度下降做出反应。湿度 - 反应关系与刺激通量无关。
