Olfactory and Visual Floral Signals of Hedera helix and Heracleum sphondylium Involved in Host Finding by Nectar-Foraging Social Wasps

Social vespid wasps regularly forage on flowers with a generalist pollination system. However, little is known about communication between wasps and their host plants.
