“…None of the other large deviations from the general trend can be related to observed incidents, but were probably caused by minor disturbances. Bees become agitated when their colony is disturbed and their sensitivity to disturbance increases the longer they are left undisturbed (JARVIS, 1950). The decrease in CO2 production when the temperature was lowered from 20~ to 10~ was not merely a result of recovery from initial disturbance.…”

Honey‐bee colonies exposed to temperatures between 20° C and —39° C produced less CO2 at 10° C than at higher or lower temperatures. Zusammenfassung DER ATMUNGSSTOFFWECHSEL VON HONIGBIENENVÖLKERN BEI NIEDEREN TEMPERATUREN Honigbienenvölker wurden im Winter aus ihren Stöcken genommen und in galvanisierten Eisenbehältern (Tanks) Temperaturen zwischen 20 und —39° C ausgesetzt. Das Kohlendioxyd der aus den Behältern abgesogenen Luft wurde absorbiert und gewogen. Die CO2‐Produktion sank, wenn die Temperatur von 20 auf 10° erniedrigt wurde und stieg bei niederen Temperaturen wieder an. Diese Veränderungen verliefen in umgekehrter Richtung, wenn die Temperatur erhöht wurde.

“…Since the waggle dance appears to carry distance information as well as direction information, any sound produced during the dance could be the method of communication of distance information, particularly since the work of Hannson (1945), Lindauer & Kerr (1960), and Jarvis (1950) establishes that bees receive sounds transmitted through the substrate .…”
