Tactile and heat sensitivity maps obtained by measuring sting extension responses. The maps represent the percentage of SER observed after tactile (A) or thermal (B) stimulation of each structure of the bee body, using a color scale from light red (0–10% of SER) to dark red (>50% of SER). Gray areas were not accessible in our holding setups and were thus not tested (NT). Sting extensions are mainly due to thermal input as seen from the comparison of both maps.
