Hey,
I was standing there this morning watching the bees leave on their foraging journeys and began to wonder. When the bees fly out, they tend to fly in a sinusoidal path. Is this the bees measuring distance? Does each of these left-right motions equate to one gyration in the wiggle dance?
My first thought had been that they were just making adjustments to their flight path, or drunk ;), but then I thought of the above.

Probably setting their directional finders. Orienting their self with the Sun in relation to their foraging source. They do do that you know. :)doak
Or perhaps they have converted some of the honey into mead. After all, do we REALLY know what they do in the hive after dark? :roll: 8-) :-D
All the more reason to rob them! :-D
