Hydrocarbons Emitted by Waggle-Dancing Honey Bees Increase Forager Recruitment by Stimulating Dancing
Hydrocarbons emitted by waggle-dancing honey bees are known to reactivate experienced foragers to visit known food sources. This study investigates whether these hydrocarbons also increase...
Non-Consumptive Predator Effects Shape Honey Bee Foraging and Recruitment Dancing
Predators can reduce bee pollination and plant fitness through successful predation and non-consumptive effects. In honey bees, evidence of predation or a direct attack can decrease recruitment dancing and thereby...
Has anyone seen this behavior before? I saw a bee dancing ON one of my ripe queen cells. It was an obvious dance, and not something else. It continued for quite some time.
