The movement of the sun, celebrated at the autumnal equinox, makes me
wonder how honey bees living between 15 S and 15 N deal with the sun's
passage overhead.  Certainly somebody has looked at waggle dancing in
these latitudes.  Is the sun's movement so slow that new foragers
"imprint" during their orientation flights?
