Fig. 2. Longitudinal thermal profiles of foragers at the feeder and in the nest. Midline profiles for 20 different randomly chosen bees foraging at (A) 2.5 mol l^–1 and (B) 1.0 mol l^–1 sucrose solutions. Average thermal profiles are shown at right; broken lines indicate ± 1 S.D. Broken rectangles indicate thoracic regions. (C) Temperature distributions of different body parts for both sucrose concentrations inside the nest (open boxes) and at the feeder (filled boxes). Box plots show the 10^th, 25^th, 50^th, 75^th and 90^th percentiles of the distribution plotted. The feeder was placed 276 m south of the nest and 1 mabove the ground.
