AI overview

A pheromone is a chemical substance that an animal releases to communicate with other members of its species, such as when a honeybee exposes a gland to release pheromone that attracts the swarm to a new hive. These chemical signals matter because they allow animals to coordinate important behaviors like finding food, locating mates, or organizing group movements without needing to see or hear each other.
