The location of different types of sensilla
on antenna of A florea is similar to those of
A mellifera. But the population of the types
of olfactory sensilla was comparatively
much less on the antenna of A florea
(Bhardwaj, 1974; Gupta, 1982) than on A
mellifera (Dietz et al, 1974). The distribution
of various types of sensillae along the
antenna is similar to that found in other
Apis species.
