The ApiaristNEW POST Hive inspections, receiver bees and the complexity and inherent errors of the waggle dance.

Roger SchürchToday, our (@freelyflyingbee@Twitter and mine) first PhD student Brad Ohlinger successfully defended his thesis. He worked on costs and gains in honey bee foraging, and how to use the waggle dance to study these. He has won multiple awards for his talks, so it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We will miss him sorely, but we are also looking forward to read about his new adventures.<a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/HoneyBees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HoneyBees</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/WaggleDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WaggleDance</a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ForagingEcology" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ForagingEcology</a>

fx dechaume-moncharmontHoneybees are far from being mere robots. Their waggle dance requires social learning.

mem_somervilleMedford Tufts is bee-themed <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/scicomm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scicomm</a>. Like to see <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WaggleDance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WaggleDance</a> descriptions. Also liked the nearby caterpillar unofficial graffiti.We sat on this train for a long time before it left. But it was warm, and not too full--maybe 70% of seats in use as we left.
