Is there anywhere I can go to understand the pherome names and functions
better?  Is Nasanov the QMP pherome? Trail, defense, agg and primer
pherome are all new terms to me. 

I know that some concoctions are marketed as containing 'royal jelly'
and 'queen' pheromes to stimulate brood rearing and colony productivity
but they don't really back up their claims with any scientific proof. In
fact one makes so many claims (honey yield, fights AFB, fights mites) as
to sound like snake oil.

The pherobase link references a lot of scientific papers - probably
papers I won't understand but is there any way for a non-academic to
access them?

Thanks,
Brent Farler
