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.
The 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 the length of the tunnel did not affect the number of waggle dances per run which did not agree with the hypothesis.

Dr. Brynes
What is the experimental subject in the study?
What is honey bee.
This is how the researchers viewed and analyzed the waggle dance
What is a video camera and code to detect the location and timing of the waggle dance.
This is the amount of Ians in the class
3 (Student Ian, Anna's boyfriend Ian, and Nicole's boyfriend Ian)
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.

Who is Louis Battista
This is how long each tunnel was.
What is 6 meters
In experiment 6, the bees had a view of the environment from the tunnel, while in experiment 7 they did not. Why were the results significant?
Bees that were able to identify environmental landmarks such as the sun were able to code for a farther distance.
How many times did Dr. Byrnes roast his brother this semester?
