Josh and his birthday cake
Maria from Michigan
Vids 261/262
Today we continuted our work in the lab. We do experiments right away in the morning. Then after we complete those we may do another set. We get bees for the next day and tether them and then feed them sugar water so they will ready tomorrow. Today we did Conditioning stimulus both cinnamon and alchol. In this experiment we paired sugar reward for each. This was done in a specific pre-set out sequence that Dr. Abramson gave us. On Sat and Sun all food places are closed on campus. Sometimes we order food out but those are closed sometimes too. Some of the Turkish students make the lab lunch. Today's was so good. One thing they must have at all meals here is bread!! and tea (chi) and conversation all musts at a Turkish sit down. July 4th tomorrow our Turkish hosts are taking us up to Mount Uladag for a fun day.
Look at that smile Amanda's first suit up for the bees, she handled the smoker
Feeding a newly teathered bee
The bee gets a puff of odor, either alcohol or cinnamon, using a syringe
Depending on the experiment the odor puff can be followed by a sugar reward on the end of a
filter paper dipped in 50% sucrose solution
I know it is difficult to see but the after touching the antenna with the sugar soaked paper the
bee extends its proboscis to obtain the sugar

Hard to see. When the bee learns it will extend its probosics when it gets the puff of odor.
It associates the odor with the sugar
