Bees Tap Antennae
Open to everyone until Friday, October 2
To keep it, print it while it is open.
Honeybees in a hive touch antennae to share quick signals. The touch works only when the bees are very close together.
In the picture
- Touching antenna tips: the contact point between two hive mates.
- Antenna shaft: a bendable feeler with tiny hairs.
- Wax cell rim: the six-sided edge of a honeycomb chamber.
Examples
- Two friends tap shoulders to pass on a quick message.
- A cat touches noses with another cat to greet it.
Key takeaways
- Hive mates exchange information by tapping antennae.
- Antennae are sensitive feelers used for close-range contact.
