Fig. 5. Hovering (A) and circling (B) learning flights of bees transplanted by
three different techniques: caging small groups of foragers (Ai, Bi), moving
the entire hive intact (Aii, Bii), and putting the colonies through a swarming
process as they were transplanted (Aiii, Biii). Note that the scales of the
graphs for the hovering flights (A) and circling flights (B) are different.
Also shown in each panel is the mean flight duration ±
S.D. and the sample size, the latter in parentheses. The
flight durations for Swarms 1 and 3 are indistinguishable (Aiii, Biii; shaded
compared to black), so the results from the two swarms are pooled for
statistical comparisons with the other groups (see Materials and methods).
