Letter: Beauty...

Published 17 May 2006

From Bob Cowley

You report the training of bees to stick out their tongues in response to specific odours (22 April, p 42). Each bee is restrained in an individual holder equipped with a miniature electronic eye, aligned precisely to record this reaction.

It is hard to explain why I find this particular solution so elegant, but I suppose the beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder.
