These dances, he concluded, told th

19、e bees simply that, within quite short distances of the hive there was a food source worth chasing. The longer and more excitedly the scout danced, the richer the promise of the food source. The scent she carried in her samples and on her body was a message to the other bees that this particular foo

20、d was the one they were looking for. The others would then troop out of the hive and fly in spiralling circles sniffing in the wind for the promised food.EAt first, von Frisch thought the bees were responding only to the scent of the food. But what did the third dance mean? And if bees were respondi

21、ng only to the scent, how could they also sniff down food hundreds of metres away from the hive, food which was sometimes downwind? On a hunch, he started gradually moving the feeding dish further and further away and noticed as he did so, that the dances of the returning scout bees also started cha

22、nging. If he placed the feeding dish over nine metres away, the second type of dance, the sickle version, came into play. But once he moved it past 36 metres, the scouts would then start dancing the third, quite different, waggle dance.The measurement of the actual distance too, he concluded, was pr

23、ecise. For example, a feeding dish 300 metres away was indicated by 15 complete runs through the pattern in 30 seconds. When the dish was moved to 60 metres away, the number dropped to 11.FVon Frisch noted something further. When the scout bees came home to tell their sisters about the food source,

24、sometimes they would dance outside on the horizontal entrance platform of the hive, and sometimes on the vertical wall inside. And, depending on where they danced, the straight portion of the waggle dance would point in different directions. The outside dance was fairly easy to decode: the straight

25、portion of the dance pointed directly to the food source, so the bees would merely have to decode the distance message and fly off in that direction to find their food.GBut by studying the dance on the inner wall of the hive, von Frisch discovered a remarkable method which the dancer used to tell he

26、r sisters the direction of the food in relation to the sun. When inside the hive, the dancer cannot use the sun, so she uses gravity instead. The direction of the sun is represented by the top of the hive wall. If she runs straight up, this means that the feeding place is in the same direction as th

27、e sun. However, if, for example, the feeding place is 40 to the left of the sun, then the dancer would run 40 to the left of the vertical line. This was to be the first of von Frischs remarkable discoveries. Soon he would also discover a number of other remarkable facts about how bees communicate an

28、d, in doing so, revolutionise the study of animal behaviour generally. 28 Section A 29 Section B 30 Section C 31 Section D 32 Section E 33 Section F 34 Section G 34 The writer mentions THREE kinds of bee dance identified by von Frisch.
