Hi, the issue with QMP being used as a total regulator is still debatable even in honeybees (Apis mellifera) where QMPs had been studied in great detail. You may need to refer to the following publications: Strauss et al. (2008) The role of the queen mandibular gland pheromone in honeybees (Apis mellifera): honest signal or supressive agent? I belief that would be a good start.
Thank you so much Dr Abdullahi, How are you doing. My research thesis focuses on QMP in stingless bees here in kenya and its role in influencing behavioral communication among workers and drones. I will check the publication out. Kind Regards.
