I am currently dealing with the homing ability of pigeons and there has been many studies of this complicated process and it has now occurred to me that the process used by bees to locate their hive if very likely to be the same, or a similar process as used by pigeons. The thought has occurred to me that Bee Keepers may have struck on the solution through working on a miniature scale and with what certainly appears to be with a great deal more scientific study than has been devoted to the pigeon homing aspect. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to point me in the right direction for any articles on the subject (assuming there are such articles) relating to the homing ability of bees.
