Honey Bees on Cocaine 'Dance' When Food Is Found
Date:12/25/2008

o not dance every time they go foraging, and when they do dance, their movements are not distorted.

"This study provides strong support for the idea that bees have a reward system, that it's been co-opted, and it's now involved in a social behavior, which motivates them to tell their hive mates about the food that they've found," Robinson said.

In a separate experiment, the researchers found that withholding cocaine from honey bees on the drug caused them to experience withdrawal symptoms. This, along with the other findings, may mean honey bees would be good subjects for substance-abuse research, he said.
