Adult honeybees have sleep-like states,and, like human infants, bees develop their own endogenous circadian rhythms as they mature,. But whereas disruption of our sleep cycles and synchronized internal rhythms may adversely affect our physiology and performance, we show here that honeybees can revert to certain arrhythmic behaviours when necessary. To our knowledge, this chronobiological plasticity is the first example in any animal of a socially mediated reversal in activity rhythms.
