Have any of you read Dr. Wenner's book Anatomy of a Controversy? I've just read through it, and the DL hypothesis is so full of holes that I wonder how anyone could have believed it in the first place. I highly recommend the book, which can be ordered from Dr. Wenner inexpensively. Now I understand why bees seem to watch the dancer, even in a pitch black beehive. The dancer is showering the scent of the food source on to the scent receptive organs of the potential recruits. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
