1 Diversity of dance and nest forms within the genus Apis.
Diversity of dance and nest forms within the genus Apis. Dwarf honey bees Apis andreniformis and Apis florea dance on the horizontal surface (black dance trace) at the top of their nests suspended from tree branches, and orient their waggle phases to point toward the advertised resources. Giant honey bees (the Apis dorsata clade) dance on the vertical surface (white dance traces) of their comb and orient their waggle phases with respect to gravity, similar to the dances of the cavity-nesting species (the clade including Apis mellifera). Phylogeny adapted from Lo et al. (2010). Andrew B. Barron, and Jenny Aino Plath J Exp Biol 2017;220: © Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd
