The group's tone is generally supportive and curious, with examples like mentions of how mirrors cause bees to lose altitude—highlighting the experiment's clever design—and enthusiastic phrases such as 'ingenious study' and 'groundbreaking'. Words like 'support', 'interesting', and phrases like 'visual cues' contribute to the overall positive and engaged assessment, while detailed explanations of the mirror setup demonstrate moderate depth of interest.
AgreementModerate agreement
Most discussions reflect support and understanding of the research, emphasizing the importance of visual cues for honeybee altitude control.
InterestHigh interest
Social discussions show high curiosity and enthusiasm, especially with explanations of how mirror setups reveal bee behavior.
EngagementModerate engagement
Participants engage by sharing summaries, examples, and further questions, indicating moderate depth in their interactions.
ImpactModerate impact
The shared examples suggest that the study influences perceptions about insect behavior and could inform broader biological or robotics applications.
Abstract in brief
Researchers designed an optical setup to study how honeybees control their altitude based on visual cues from the ground.
This setup uses horizontal mirrors to remove visual information from the floor and ceiling, helping to replicate natural conditions over water.
Findings show that when honeybees experience reduced or no visual input from below, they lose altitude and may crash into the ground.
Why do bees flying over water sometimes lose altitude and drop into the drink? In an ingenious study using mirrors, scientists have shown that bees use the ground to adjust their altitude – and reflective surfaces make the ground seem much further away. https://t.co/TIsYM7peRo https://t.co/2QETatfqmU

An interesting study on #honeybees needing ventral optic flow to regulate their altitude while flying. Honeybees rely on ground cues and will lose altitude and crash if the ground is replaced with a mirrored surface: https://t.co/jSsUpNYLDn

I’ve heard that this guy’s doing a bit but I’m tired of the bit being “I’m a convincing stupid asshole, in a world full of stupid assholes”
Researchers designed an optical setup to study how honeybees control their altitude based on visual cues from the ground. Honeybees lose altitude when visual input from below is reduced, leading to collisions…
Julien R Serres discusses how biological agents like bees and pilots perform complex navigation tasks using visuomotor mechanisms, highlighting similarities with flying drones despite size and visual differences.

I'm not sure. He has friends there, and pretty much everywhere. I'm not sure he's even aware of the festival. I was actually hoping to go to Tanzania this year and see my sister, but the government is cracking down on "foreigners" at the moment.
He is very specifically prosecuting a grievance against his pilot, Colonel Nobile, who he had a vicious falling-out with after the trip over the credit. This takes up like half the book, which is ironic if you know what happened the year after it was published.
Thank you all so, so much for coming out to watch me scream my head off until we swapped to the very borked cleaning game. I appreciate each and every one of you! We rolled into @zingybeams.bsky.social for more content when I had to stop. Give her all the loooooove!
I have, at least 4 so far, and not a bad one among them. But after a minimum of 5 years at university, plus interning, the bad ones really should have been found.
To be honest, I have encountered more bad 'regular' doctors, and had more bad reactions to modern medicine.
And I still use those too.
The person who recruited me into a crusade anti OC×Canon around 2006-2007 year (I left in 2010) was something like that.
She ended up being very transphobic and with a strong internalized mysoginy.
Not surprised.
Anyone know how to contact a witch? Do we have the contact information of the priest from The Exorcist? Is there a wikiHow article on how to end a curse??? I can't do this anymore PLEASE
They say the time you find out how good and insurance company is is when you make a claim. So far it’s not good for Allianz. If you had been killed then the claim would be much higher. They don’t make money from paying out. Fight them the bastards!
It has been a year since I have driven a motor vehicle or ridden a bike. A year since I have worn a pair of jeans or boots. 12 months since I have run or hurried on my feet. A year since I have wiped my ass or ejaculated. I have not worked this year. I'm alive, but not sure just what to do with it.
I hear that loud and clear.
The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know half as much as I thought I did!
It does make complete sense.
Again, I apologize for my lousy attitude earlier. It was unnecessary.
I’m glad using your password make your hackles go up, in any case!

As a woman, yes. As a woman who’s lived half her life in proximity to social media, definitely. As a woman named GRACE? Who is not a wee tiny lass? OH FUCK YES I WOULD.

Did you know if you place mirrors on the ceiling and floor, a flying honeybee will lose altitude until they collide with the floor? This is because they need visual cues to judge how high they are!
