Dr. Wenner I recently learned of a study of the bee dances, where a graduate student was documenting how the different modes of dancing relate to distance. The bees were trained to a series of distant sites using sugar syrup. I was just wondering -- how does your understanding of how bees find feeding sources account for their ability to lead recruits to *unscented* food sources? The fact that they can somehow bring other bees to dishes with sugar syrup *seems to point toward* some type of communication, other than odor. I.
