The honeybee is an excellent model organism for research on behavioral biology. In this study, the authors compared the working habits of foragers on days that were followed by a sunny day and those that followed by a rainy day using the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). The results showed that honeybees worked harder before a rainy day (see pages 157‐159). Photo by Wei‐Liang Zhang and Zhi‐Jiang Zeng.
