We tried some new ideas, mostly Marisol worked on trying to train them to respond to a vibration apparatus. Many of our specimens were not adequate for the experiment so at the end of the day we collected mor bees and set them up for tomorrow. You can look at the pics below ad I will give a short description of how it relates to te experiments we are doing. The other group is doing
some really interesting work.
These bees are part of a group that have learned to come to this spot. We collect them on the spot for our experiments

Single mounted bee

These bees are in a glass vial freshly captured from the feeding station, they will be frozen to knock them out so we can tape them into the bullet casing
Ready to test learn
It looks like your research is going well and having some time to take advantage of the cultural opportunities in this beautiful country. Your senior students have been busy with graduation festivities and enjoying summer on Long Island. You missed great end of year speeches by Arpon, Matt, Erica and Marni. Interesting that you use bullet cases for the bees. I think that is a great use for them. Keep blogging. Looking forward to reading more! Susan Lee
