(A) Group-level fanning response, random social context. Percentage of bees in each group of ten bees (n = 16) that showed fanning behavior. Each group tested three times. 22% [18–26%] of workers per group engaged with the task of fanning. (B) Time invested into fanning, per test arena, observed vs. expected. (Left) Mean number of minutes each individual spent fanning when facing an increase in brood temperature alone (non-social context; n = 121). (Middle) Expected summed time spent fanning per group in random groups of ten individuals facing the same stimulus increase, if individuals had invested the same amount of time into fanning when in a group as when tested alone (n = 16). (Right) Observed summed time spent fanning per group and arena in groups of ten (random social context; n = 16).
