The fluoreicent substances in the body of four kinds of bees were examined at the three stages of larva, pupa, and imago by paper chromatography. It was confirmed clearly on chromatograms that fluorescent substances of Apis melliferea L. and other species were four and five, respectively, excluding riboflavin. Three of these fluorescent substances, BV-substance of Rf 0.05,V-substance of Rf0.18,and B-substance of Rf0.45 on the paper, were recognized as major components at three stages of bees, and other substances were negligible on the paper. These three substances were isolated in a crystalline form from defatted powder of the larva of Vespa lewisi C. by gel filtration over Sephada G-10 and absorption chromatography on a1umina. These three substances were identified with L-kynurenine, isoxanthopterin, and xanthurate 4,8-diglucoside from chemical and physical properties. The occurrence of xanthurate 4,8-diglucoside as a tryptophan metabolite has been demonstrated for the first time in bees.
