Тезаурус:
- I recently had an interesting encounter with the honeybee and it only served to point out that regardless of size the degree of intelligence is quite extraordinary.
- When a honeybee finds a new source of food, it senses the direction from the hive to the food using the sun as a compass.
- The magnetite particles on the honeybee's abdomen may be responsible for the bee's sensitivity to the Earth's magnetic field.
- Since this discovery, magnetite has been found in many other animals, including the familiar honeybee.
- Unknown to me a honeybee had made a hive in this part of the wall and not long afterwards I became aware of an angry bee searching frantically for the entrance to its hive.
- Meanwhile, von Frisch had looked at the honeybee dance more closely.
- The honeybee shares the ability to use the sun as a compass with a wide range of animals, including ants, sandhoppers, many fish and birds.
- Soon after that feud, von Frisch made his even more controversial discovery, of the dance language of the honeybee.
- The signals of social insects, such as the pheromones of ants and the dance of the honeybee, are probably honest rather than manipulatory.
- Von Frisch (1967) is the classic account of the dance language of the honeybee; but does not cover the recent controversy: Gould (1976) is the best source for that.
- The honeybee's dance is very intricate and conveys information about the quality and quantity of the food source as well as its location.
- Figure 6.7 The dance of the honeybee tells the location of food sources in relation to the hive.
