"Precise, individualized foraging flights in honeybees revealed by multicopter drone-based tracking", by Rachael Stentiford et al. 2026 (Andrew Straw's lab) @strawman@sciencemastodon.com https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(26)00084-9 "Although bees could choose from multiple routes, we discovered that individual bees follow idiosyncratic paths with striking and repeatable precision." "The level of precision exhibited by their flight paths exceeds that reported in the waggle dance, implying that dance variability does not reflect a limit in the bee’s underlying spatial representation." #neuroscience #honeybees #WaggleDance
