Summary

The number of phototactic runs towards low light intensities of young bees (Apis mellifica L.) depends on their age. On the 1st day there is almost no response. After the 4th day a light intensity as low as 0.1 Lux induces a phototactic run. This increase of response coincides with the performance of the 1st exercise flight.
