I just happened to post an article related to the daily rhythm cycles of the honeybee to the Historical Honeybee Articles Group. (Article Excerpt) During June of 1955 Dr. Max Renner, zoologist of the University of Munich, brought 5,000 Parisian bees to the American Museum of Natural History. In Paris, Renner had trained them to forage for sugar water from 8:15 to 10:15 p.m. Paris time. He wanted to find out whether bees have an internal mechanism that recognizes time intervals. A room at the museum here was converted into a duplicate of the bees' room in Paris. No sugar water was left for them the first three days. But the bees showed up for feeding at 3:15 to 5:15 p.m., EDT, which corresponds to the time they fed in Paris. Paris time is five hours ahead of New York time. Best Wishes J.
