Fig. 1. Comparison of several variables recorded in experimental series S1 as a
function of the three different treatments, T`16x2', T`8x4' and
T`4x8'. (A) Visit time; (B) crop load; (C,D) number of rewarding and
non-rewarding flower inspections; (E) inspection index (see Results); (F,G),
dance probability (Dpb) before and after the bees' food unloading. Values are
means ± s.e.m. N=6. Asterisks indicate statistically
significant differences between groups. (See Results for details.)

Fig. 2. Comparison of several variables recorded in S2 as a function of the three
different treatments, T`16x2', T`8x4', and T`4x8'. (A)
Cumulative flight time inside the arena; (B) crop load; (C,D) number of
rewarding and non-rewarding flower inspections; (E) inspection index (see
Results); (F,G) dance probability (Dpb) before and after the bees' food
unloading. Values are means ± s.e.m. N=10. Asterisks indicate
statistically significant differences between groups. (See Results for
details.)
