A bioassay based on an olfactory conditioning method simulating the foraging situation in laboratory conditions was coupled with chemical analysis of volatile sunflower blends. Behavioural data obtained from for-agers'responses to volatile fraction point out that honeybees need to use only a limited fraction acting as a "simplified aromatic pattern" of the plant, among hundreds of compounds constituting the whole aroma. This active fraction included 27 polar compounds among which 14 were identified. Extension of such data to crop pollination and plant improvement is discussed.
