Figure 4. A) When two real foragers travelled between the colony and a 500 m feeding station in an experiment run by Michelsen et al. (1989:fig. 3D), most recruits did not arrive at the target station.

B) By combining all of the Michelsen et al. (1989:fig. 3A-D) distance recruitment data for both mechanical bee and live foragers, one obtains a familiar pattern, a normal distribution skewed to the right (in this case, lognormal).
