I find it difficult to see the connection - given the mechanism of
recruitment - and that the bees come back once loaded up. Then there's
the changing temperatures and the response of the flowers through the
day, and flowers running out of nectar taken by bees. Can you get the
modeller to make these connections or at least give the salient points
of the model?
