Re: The radar-tracking study by Riley et al (in Nature 2005).

I forgot to mention that within the maximal expense of $10, for a very good,
and very simple test of the honeybee "dance language" (DL) hypothesis,  you
need to include some paint and a tiny applicator, to daub a dot of paint on
the back of each of your (10, or so) trained foragers, in order to
distinguish them from new-arrivals. A little bottle of nail-polish, or
"white-out" liquid (used to correct typos made by a manual typewriter), with
the little brush attached inside, will do.
