M. Winston, "Biology of the Honeybee", p26. Because the neurons cannot fire at the sustained rate of 200+ cycles per second, it thought that the thoracic muscles "resonate", (Esch & Bastian, 1968, 1970 & 1976). Is there further research to elucidate this? (I don't have access to the research). 

Also, Im wondering if because they typically do this head down in a cell, is it the wings simply can't be deployed for flight. Is there some "disconnect" mechanism? Can they do this outside of the cell?
