Honeybee Communication: The Tale of a Sleep-deprived Dancer and Her Unwitting Followers

Presenter: Barrett Klein, Dept. of Biology, UW-La Crosse

Communication is vital for humans and honeybees alike. Foragers of western honeybees (Apis mellifera) famously exhibit waggle dances capable of advertising the destination (direction and distance) of a food source to nest mates. When restricted of sleep by a custom-made insominator, honeybee foragers still perform waggle dances the day following sleep-restriction, but the direction component of their dances is less precise. Signaling is only one half of communication, so what about the receivers of the signals—dance followers confronted with the relatively imprecise dance signals?
