I recall once being told that a study showed that if a bee is led to a sugar 
source in the middle of a lake (on a boat!) and then returns to the hive
to 'report' the location to the others bees, they don't 'believe' the
report and do not follow the 'instructions' of the dancing bee. Can anyone
give me the exact reference to this (or a similar) study. Thanks!
