Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Social insects use pheromones to send messages to other members of their colonies. Ants leave pheromone trails that lead other ants to food sources. Certain species of honey bees release pheromones when they are injured or attacked to signal other members of the hive that there is danger, or that the hive is under attack.
