Flight of the Bumblebee: Researchers Find that Flower Choice Matters
31.10.2006
Rebecca Flanagan has probably come as close as a human can to reading the 
mind of a bumblebee.

Flanagan, a graduate student in biological sciences, and Associate 
Professor Jeffrey Karron are studying the behaviors of bees as they gather 
pollen -- which plant species the bees forage on, which flowers they probe 
and in what order, and how many blooms they visit before moving on to 
another plant. In doing so, the bees make plant reproduction possible by 
dispersing pollen.
