I am seeking reference source which
would reveal the earliest date
it was scientifically proven or
first known that a colony of bees
-well fortified with honey, would begin
to abandon foraging great distances,
in favor of foraging closer to home.
Perhaps you would like to provide a reference source that this was *ever* scientifically proven. I have never heard of such a thing in my life
