16-05-2016 om 11:08Ook wij zagen gisteren de shuffle. Bijen bij elkaar buiten in de hoek van de kast en samen een soort schuifbeweging maken. Heel bijzonder.
We hebben er (nog) geen verklaring voor. Zullen kijken of er iets over kunnen vinden.

16-05-2016 om 12:24Dit verschijnsel kan zich voordoen bij een goede stuifmeeldracht. Op de beharing van de bijen die dit doen is met een loep te zien dat er resten stuifmeel zijn blijven kleven. Het zijn dus haalbijen. Door het maken van deze bewegingen, die soms lang aanhouden, proberen de bijen zich te ontdoen van fijn stuifmeel dat bij het verzamelen van nectar in de nauwe spleet tussen kop en borststuk geraakt is en ze daar onaangenaam hindert.

16-05-2016 om 14:21Marlies, het lijkt meer op de reinigen van het oppervlakte onder de bijen, zoals ook in de laatste hyperlink in het bericht van Erik wordt verwoord.
Heb je een scan-copy van het deel van het boek van Dr. Karl Freudenstein, waarin dit gedrag wordt verklaard? -

16-05-2016 om 15:22Ook Tom Seeley heeft dit beschreven in zijn studies m.b.t. zwermen en verwilderde honingbijen in Noord-Amerika, maar dan op de bast van holle bomen, die volledig glad werd gestreken net boven de vliegopening.

16-05-2016 om 15:54Dirk, de relatie tot zwermen klinkt passend bij dit volk, want er is zwermstemming aanwezig.

16-05-2016 om 16:01Ik ben bij een lezingen Albert Muller geweest. Hij verklaarde ook dat het te maken had met zwermen. Ik ga binnenkort weer naar een lezing van hem toe, ik zal (als ik het niet vergeet) nog eens vragen wat ookal weer zijn verklaring was.

For many years, one of the deepest mysteries of the hive has been taking place right there in plain view, on the front of it. Most beekeepers have witnessed at one time or another that peculiar activity that has been given the name "washboarding". On a late summer's afternoon hundreds of honey bees can be seen pacing to and fro, heads pointed downward. They take a few steps forward and a few steps back, tapping the wooden hive front with their antennae, for hours. Many a beekeeper has wondered aloud, what on earth are they doing there? The various explanations offered have never really quite matched up with what we see there. It is, how shall I say? -- just plain puzzling. Busy as a bee, so they say, but busy doing what? It almost looks like some sort of idol worship! Are they paying homage to the queen?
Imagine my surprise when I uncovered what may really be the explanation for this weird to and fro rocking at the threshold of the hive. I had my head stuck in a book, late one night, when the answer leapt at me from the page. The book I was reading was called "Pheromones and Animal Behaviour" and the author was explaining how honey bees share many habits with paper wasps. The paper wasp nest is the one that appears in scenes where Pooh Bear is contemplating a "hive". Evidently wasps imbue the paper material of the nest with secretions from their abdomens which give each nest its own characteristic odor. Naturally, the papery material easily absorbs odors.
Watching the honeybees performing their ritual, it occurred to me that very likely this is what they are doing. The skittery movement of their little feet resembles nothing so much as the spreading of some sort of invisible paint all over the front over the wooden hive front, all the while checking it with their odor sensitive antennae. If they painstakingly applied an odorous substance, soon the whole front would be an odorous beacon which said in its own way to weary foragers returning from the fields, home sweet home.

16-05-2016 om 21:38Ben helaas kan ik je geen scancopy bezorgen van deze verklaring. Hij staat in het boek " Das Wesen der Bienen " van dr. Karl Freudenstein een uitgave uit 1938 die ik helaas niet zelf in mijn bezit heb. Samen met het boek " Lehrbuch der Bienenkunde " zeer lezenswaardig! Een schat aan kennis! En zoals altijd zullen er ook andere verklaringen gegeven worden 12 imkers 13 meningen :-)

En een mooie verklaring ook. Het aanbrengen van een geurbaken. -
