The tremble dance of honey bees can be caused by hive-external foraging experience.
The tremble dance of honey bee nectar foragers is part of the communication system that regulates a colony's foraging efficiency. A forager that returns to the hive with nectar, but then experiences a long unloading delay because she has difficulty finding a nectar receiver bee, will perform a tremble dance to recruit additional nectar receiver bees. A forager that experiences a short unloading...
متن کاملDance Communication Affects Consistency, but Not Breadth, of Resource Use in Pollen-Foraging Honey Bees
In groups of cooperatively foraging individuals, communication may improve the group's performance by directing foraging effort to where it is most useful. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) use a specialized dance to communicate the location of floral resources. Because honey bees dance longer for more rewarding resources, communication may shift the colony's foraging effort towards higher quality re...
متن کاملSocial Foraging by Honey Bees: Mechanisms, Dynamics, and Adaptation
There are two main components of social foraging by honey bees. First, there is a continuous adjustment of the number of bees dedicated to exploitation of forage sites and wide-area exploration for new forage options. Second, there is a persistent reallocation of the proportions of the foraging workforce dedicated to exploiting each site in order to match unpredictably changing relative forage ...
متن کاملThe foraging behaviour of honey bees, Apis mellifera: a review
Foraging behaviour is one of the distinctive behaviours of honey bees, Apis mellifera. This behaviour is the link between the honey bee colony and the ambient environment. Therefore, various in-colony and out-colony factors have an impact on this behaviour, and many studies have been employed to investigate these factors. Foraging behaviour is not advantageous only for the colony and for plant ...
متن کاملLearning Impairment in Honey Bees Caused by Agricultural Spray Adjuvants
BACKGROUND Spray adjuvants are often applied to crops in conjunction with agricultural pesticides in order to boost the efficacy of the active ingredient(s). The adjuvants themselves are largely assumed to be biologically inert and are therefore subject to minimal scrutiny and toxicological testing by regulatory agencies. Honey bees are exposed to a wide array of pesticides as they conduct norm...
