Pollen consumption and utilization in worker honeybees (Apis mellifera carnica): Dependence on individual age and function.

Frisch studied aspects of animal behaviour, including animal navigation, in the Carniolan honey bee (Apis mellifera carnica), a subspecies of the European honey bee.

For example, a rate of seven circuits per second means a distance from hive to food of about 400 yards to an Apis mellifera carnica, 330 yards to an Apis mellifera mellifera, or 260 yards to an Apis mellifera ligustica.
