Tremble dances are sometimes performed by returning forager bees instead of waggle dances. Recent studies by Seeley (1992) and Kirchner (1993) have revealed that this behaviour is part of the recruitment communication system of bees. The ultimate cause of tremble dances is, according to Seeley (1992

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) can be readily conditioned in the laboratory to specific odors paired with a subsequent sucrose reward. A series of experiments are reported which demonstrate that the ability of bees to acquire and retain this learning is affected by the stage of behavioral development (c
The anatomy of β₯-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-immunoreactive, recurrent feedback neurons in the mushroom body (MB) of the honeybee, Apis mellifera, was investigated by using intraneuropilar injections of cobalt ions and light microscopic techniques. Each MB contains approximately 110 GABA-immunoreactive
