Have any of you read Dr. Wenner's book Anatomy of a Controversy? I've just

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.
