A) The straight run times in waggle dances (e.g.,
Wenner, 1962) permit one to derive an expected level of performance
for potential recruit bees, if they could use distance information
they supposedly obtain from forager dances (see text for source
of values). |
 |
B) The results von Frisch obtained were
highly unlikely if recruits had used dance maneuver information,
even if they and dancing bees had performed without error (data
from von Frisch, 1967, p. 90, fig. 91-4; 132 "newcomers"
that had arrived at the feeding station itself
are included). |

|
C) In the Michelsen et al. (1989)
mechanical bee experiments, only six out of 68 recruits arrived
at the 1,000 m station after they had attended the dance maneuver
of the model bee (data from Michelsen et al., 1989:fig.
3C). |
