First, he showed that honey bees use a dance language to communicate
food locations to other bees

von Frisch observed that once one honey bee finds a feeding station,
many other soon appear at the same station. This suggests that the first bee recruits other bees to the food. How might honey bees recruit help in collecting food?

von Frisch's discovery of the dance language of the honey bee required
careful determination of the correlations between movements of bees inside the hive and the locations of feeding stations.

The round dance causes bees to

He found two types of dance. The round dance causes bees to
look for food a short distance (up to about 50 meters) from the hive.
The waggle dance tells bees the direction and distance to fly to find more distant food sources.

His demonstration of color

Second, he demonstrated that honey bees have color vision. His demonstration of
vision is simple and elegant. He trained bees to feed on a dish of sugar water set on a colored card.

Слайд 13

He then set the colored card in the middle of an array

He then set the colored card in the middle of an array
of gray-toned cards, as illustrated below.

Слайд 14

If the bees see the blue card as a shade of gray,

If the bees see the blue card as a shade of gray,
then they will confuse the blue card with at least one of the gray-toned cards; bees arriving to feed will visit more than one card in the array. On the other hand, if they have color vision, then the bees visit only the blue card, as it is visually distinct from the other cards.

This clever test for color vision can be applied to any animal

This clever test for color vision can be applied to any animal
which can learn to recognize a feeding station using visual patterns.

His theory, described in his 1927 book The Dancing Bees, was disputed
by other scientists and greeted with skepticism at the time. Only much later was it shown to be an accurate theoretical analysis.
