Summary

The exact description of the temporal functions of all important movements during the wagtail-dance of bees is given.

The frequency of the wagtail-movements amounts to 15 Hz. Their number per cycle depends upon the distance between bee-hive and feeding place.

With the same accuracy the a.m. distance is shown either by the rhythm of cycle or by the number of wagtail-movements per cycle.
