Illustration of how bees may use the chemosensory roadmap to find the location of hidden nectar rewards within I. capensis and I. pallida flowers, based on the observed forager responses to floral compounds in experiments 1–6. Naive bees probing the outside surface of flowers would encounter a gustatory preference gradient leading them from the nectar spur (red stoplight) to corolla (yellow stoplight), with continued probing leading them from the entrance of the tube (yellow stoplight) to the nectar reward within the nectar spur at the base of the corolla tube (green stoplight).
