Abstract:
The colour choice of honeybees Apis mellifera ligustica was tested on a food source simulator providing sucrose solution in coloured feeders blue or yellow. No asymmetry for colour choice was detected in the present experimental set-up. Test of Runs showed that colour is used to switch from one group of coloured feeders to the other in a strategy that seems related to the probability of finding a reward on the same colour. © 1989.
