摘要 成功的蜜蜂采集者在蜂巢表面表演舞蹈，与花蜜接收者和舞蹈追随者互动。我们记录了大型十格蜂箱和两格观察蜂箱中舞蹈发生的地点。我们发现跳舞的蜜蜂最常见于大型蜂巢中的特定蜂巢上以及观察蜂巢中的蜂巢上的特定区域。尽管跳舞的地点可能每天都在变化，但在任何一天的觅食期间，舞者都会保持在同一地点。此外，如果白天在蜂巢中人为地重新安置已建立的舞蹈地点，舞者会在开始舞蹈之前寻找这些地点。我们得出的结论是，舞蹈场地以某种方式被标记，因此促进了舞者和舞蹈追随者聚集在同一地点。
Abstract Successful honeybee foragers perform dances on the surface of the comb where they interact with nectar receivers and dance followers. We have recorded the sites at which dances take place in large ten-frame hives and in two-frame observation hives. We find that dancing bees are most commonly found on particular combs in large hives and in particular areas on the combs in the observation hives. Although the site where dances take place may change from day to day, dancers will keep to the same site during the foraging period in any one day. Furthermore, if an established dance site is artificially relocated in the hive during the day, dancers seek these sites out before commencing their dances. We conclude that the dance sites are labelled in some way and so promote the congregation of both dancers and dance followers at the same site.
