Alarm pheromone. Two main alarm pheromones have been identified in honeybee workers. One is released by the Koschevnikov gland, near the sting shaft, and consists of more than 40 chemical compounds, including isopentyl acetate (IPA), butyl acetate, 1-hexanol, n -butanol, 1-octanol, hexyl acetate, octyl acetate, n -pentyl acetate and 2-nonanol.
