“…Flight rhythms of worker bees have been studied from the tropics to the Arctic Circle, and these investigations have shown that outdoor flight activity is correlated with nectar flow, pollen collection, temperature, and weather (Butler & Finney, 1942;Domagala-Lipinska, 1962;Gary, 1967;Hocking & Sharplin, 1964;Kenyon, 1898;Lundie, 1925;Sekiguchi & Sakagami, 1966;Smith, 1953). Moreover, flight activity indoors was found to be correlated with the collection of sugar syrup and the temperature of the flight rooms (Bennet & Renner, 1963;Nelson, 1964).…”

SummaryHoneybees in controlled-environment rooms developed flight activity patterns in response to the cycles of light and dark. As the photophase was lengthened, flight activity per unit time decreased, and in continuous light the diurnal rhythm faded. By altering the timing of the photophase, bees could be conditioned to high flight activity at times other than their "normal" peak flight period in the afternoon.
