sorry for the incompleteness of the previous message. I am
working on a terminal that does not allow for corrections.
The paper by j.gould has the title "honey bee recruitment:
the dance language controversy", Science 189:685-693.
The paper by B.Schricker has the title "Die Orientierungsfluege
der Honigbiene in der Daemmerung", Z.vergl.Physiol.49,420-458.
Ppaper is written in German and should make good reading.
v.Frisch's book "The Dance Loanguage and Orientation of Bees"
was published 1967, Harvard University Press.
I recorded dances on horizontal combs in the dark, results are
in "Beitraege zum Problem der Entfernungsweisung in den
Schwaenzeltaenzen der Honigbienen", Z.vergl.Physiol.48,534-546,
1964. Bees do definitely dance in the dark, just observe them
in an observation hive under red light.
