Hello Adrian & All,
I was going to email Adrian direct but thought I would send via BEE-L as I
have seen Adrian Wenner post this week.
Adrian I recently came across a copy of a second edition of a very old book.
"The Honey Bee" By the Goulds
The first edition was in 1945 by James Gould & Carol Gould
The second edition was in 1988 by James & Carol Gould
I read the first edition years ago but picked up the second to see what was
different.
Chapter four!
The Dance-Language Controversy.
Had you seen the book & chapter four Adrian?
Summing up the chapter:
On page 83 the Gould's give you and Wells kudos for the controversy.
On page 82 however the Gould' point out :
" Wenner and Wells were misled by their assumption that if bees communicate
by odor under one set of circumstances , then they must use odor in all
cases."
Comments Adrian ( as we have a huge number of posts in the archives about
the controversy but none to my knowledge about the Gould's point of view.)
I gathered from reading the book the Goulds had done experiments to prove
Wenner & Wells hypothesis incorrect?
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
" Has signed copy of Anatomy of a Controversy by Wenner & Wells"
