Colour signals and choice behaviour of the honeybee (Apis mellifera ligustica)

The colour choice of honeybees Apis mellifera ligustica was tested on a food source simulator providing sucrose solution in coloured feeders blue or yellow. No asymmetry for colour choice was detected in the present experimental set-up. Test of Runs showed that colour is used to switch from one grou...
