Just thought I'd pass along that the Radio program Earth & Sky did a little number on the bee dance. http://www.earthsky.com/1997/es971117.html and had some pointers to fun stuff: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Beekeeping/beedance.htm My only question on reading it, though, was: the article claims that bees can't see inside the hive. I thought the biologists here said at one time or anohter that they could by being able to see farther into the infrared spectrum than we. Someone else here also mentioned that bees would prefer to build on some colors of combs and not others- Do I remember correctly? for what it's worth- Phil Wood [log in to unmask]
