*Individual was originally used as an observer. In an effort to reduce training time (around two days per entirely naive bee), these bees then went through stepwise demonstrator training and were used as demonstrators for other observers when they passed the unrewarded demonstrator learning test. The letters in demonstrator and observer IDs refer to the colony from which the bee originated (A, B, C, or D), and the numbers refer to the individual tag attached to the thorax. #Bee was used to trial solo foraging bout protocol, therefore results are excluded because they are incomparable. N/A, not applicable.
