For at least 2 days prior to the experiments, the bees were fed ad libitum a 2:1 sugar:water solution, which is known to induce natural swarming behavior ( Seeley and Buhrman, 1999 ). At the beginning of the experiments, the swarm clusters had...

The honeybee Apis mellifera constitutes an attractive model to address this question because of its capacity to successfully learn a large range of tasks in various sensory domains. Here, we studied whether the performance of individual bees...
