Introduction
What information does the waggle dance tell other honeybees?
What is it tells other bees the distance and direction they need to fly from the hive to the food source or new nest site.
Why are honey bees important?
Important because they make honey, pollinate crops, and are the only species that performs the waggle dance.
BE ___ (fill in the blank)
beaUTIFUL
How does this study contribute new insights into honeybee navigation and distance coding?
This research showed that honeybees utilize landscape memory alongside optic flow, allowing us to better understand the waggle dance.
In most experiments, the distance measured by a bee is determined by the duration of this part of the dance?
What is the waggle run
This was placed at the end of each tunnel allowing for the monitoring and marking of bees.
What are feeders
This is what they found out about the parameters for the waggle dance, which was the number of waggles per run and amount of time for a run.
What is length of waggle run was more variable compared to the number of waggles per run
What are the implications of this study for future research in honeybee navigation and spatial memory?
The findings imply the need for future studies to explore how honeybees integrate environmental memory with optic flow and potentially use a cognitive map for navigation.
What visual cue does the honeybee’s odometer rely on to measure distance during flight?
What is optic flow
What beer is considered as THE fine pilsner and is enjoyed by many fellow Americans?
Miller Lite
How did the varying lengths of the five tunnels during the preliminary experiments impact the number of waggle dances per run? Did this support or not support their hypothesis?
No waggles dances were performed on the bees that were marked, just round dances. This finding did not agree with their hypothesis, as they expected to observe waggle runs in 4 out of the 5 text tunnel conditions. This relates to how in lab we discusses how sometimes the results will not agree with your hypothesis.

What is the experimental subject in the study?
What is honey bee.
This is how the researchers viewed and analyzed the waggle dance

This is what the study concluded about the factors influencing distance estimation in honeybee waggle dances?
This is a landmark memory from exploratory flights takes precedence over optic flow when honeybees waggle.
In most experiments, the distance measured by a bee is determined by the duration of this part of the dance?
What is the waggle run
This is how long each tunnel was.
What is 6 meters
In experiment 6, the bees did had a view of the environment from the tunnel, while in experiment 7 they did. This is the significance of the results of experiments 6 and 7?
Experiment 6, the bees did not experience the tunnel as a long distance while in experiment 7 the tunnel was experienced as a long distance. Environment surrounding the tunnel provides information for distance coding if the dancer is familiar with the environment.
