Homing flights via the feeder. Ten SF bees (of 29 bees tested under similar conditions) performed their homing flights via the feeder. Flight paths 2 and 3 come from bees that were tested during the second study period; the other paths come from those tested during the first study period. Bees released at release site 2 are shown by flight paths 1–5, and those released at release site 3 are indicated by flight paths 6–10. The bee from flight path 4 landed at the feeder and flew to the hive after filling its crop. All bees were tested with the normal arrangement of tents under sunny weather conditions. Notice that the coordinates are centered to the hive in an attempt to represent the flight paths of both study periods in one figure.
