Abstract：The complex social behaviors of honeybees have attracted extensive scientific interest． The discovery of the
neural and molecular basis of honeybee behaviors，such as learning，memory，navigation and so on，provide rich
information with which to explore brain science and the molecular basis of complex social behaviors in human beings． This
article reviews the dopamine mechanism and its roles in honeybee behaviors，describes dopamine receptors in the honeybee
brain in detail，then sums up the impact factors of dopamine levels in honeybee brains． Finally，we evaluate the prospects
for further study of dopaminergic pathways’effects on honeybee behaviors and the mechanism by which they achieve these
effects．
