The nerolic acid is a naturally occurring chemical compound from the group of unsaturated carboxylic acids , the bees and ants as a pheromone is used. Nerolic acid is the name for the (2 Z ) configuration of the geranic .

properties

Nerolic acid is one of seven compounds that have been identified as the Nasonov pheromone in bees. These include geraniol , ( E ) - citral , ( Z ) citral , ( E , E ) - farnesol and nerol . Nerolic acid, geraniol and ( E , E ) -farnesol occur in comparatively higher concentrations. Nerolic acid is used by bees to orient themselves to the beehive.
