Abstract
The vibration dance was investigated in queenless (QL) colonies of honey bees. Workers performing the dance had significantly less-developed ovaries than recipients. Vibrators were more likely to be mauled by nestmates (an aggressive act) and were more strongly associated with foraging than were nonvibrating controls. Recipients responded to the dance by increasing the amount of time spent performing tasks. The vibration dance may therefore be associated with aggression in QL colonies and may give workers with less-developed ovaries a degree of control over the behavior of bees with greater ovarian development.
