No, not amongst us humans. But rather as a way for the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida) to infiltrate bees hives. It seams they carry a yeast with them that releases the alarm pheromone that European honeybees use. When the beetles enter the hive, the rising alarm signal disorientates the bees and allows the beetles to do their worst. i.e feed. More details at New Scientist and PNAS. I’m sure Dr. Hellstrom would find this interesting 🙂
