Bee on Feeder Platform

Caption

A bumblebee eats a food reward presented on an artificial flower. Five such feeders each contain 1/5 of the amount required to fill her up and the bee must learn a route to take her to all five. Visible in the background are a Landrover from which researchers monitor the harmonic radar and a shed which contains the bee's nest.
