2/7 - #EntSoc22 in Vancouver is in full swing, and I wanted to take the opportunity to advertize the talk of my #PhD student Robert Ostrom. Using #HoneyBee #WaggleDances as #BioIndicators he is trying to predict native #bee #abundance, #richness and #diversity.
Honey bee foragers that have found a profitable resource will perform waggle dances when back in the hive. This was first scientifically described by Karl von Frisch (reviewed here: https://rdcu.be/cZvHq).
