message: When a honey bee finds a source of food, then goes back to tell the rest of the bees where it is, why do the other bees beat him there?
: I'm not sure whether I understand what you mean, but there is no particular reason for the first bee to return to the food source, though it could do so if so "inclined". After imparting the directional, intensity and food-type information to his hive mates it may be busy processing its load, or simply tired. --Remotelysensed (talk) 10:29, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Translation now added 

message: Über die ‚Tiersprache|Sprache‘ der Bienen
"On the 'Animal Language|Language' of the Bees"
Does this indicate confusion over the precise title in German? Varlaam (talk) 16:30, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The German title is: Über die ‚Sprache‘ der Bienen.  "Sprache" was surrounded by inverted commas to make a point, and it was wikilinked to de:Tiersprache. Unfortunately, when the article was translated to English, the link became a bit too explicit.  It has now been corrected. Favonian (talk) 16:39, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. That explanation had occurred to me after I'd finished writing it. Varlaam (talk) 16:49, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Odd German title 

message: Has somebody ever noticed that the illustration of an insect in the picture "Interpretation of the waggle dance" does not depict a honey bee, nor a bee at all, but a hover fly (Diptera Syrphidae)? This is a pretty mistake!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.100.22.115 (talk) 08:09, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

message: In Schreckstoff von Frisch appears an important figure, but it gets no mention here in the body of the article. Spicemix (talk) 16:12, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Schreckstoff 

message: The section is relying on the source Du Und Das Leben, but I have not found any reference to his supporting Eugenics in any way, in fact I have found no reference to inheritable diseases within humans, and also nothing about sterilization. I can therefore only assume that a mistake has been made. I'll leave it for a very short while, but unless this incorrect sourcing can be fixed, or my mistake can be explained, then this entire section should be deleted. In the meantime I will delete the Source cited (twice) and request a citation, in the hope that someone can find one. Please use here to discuss this matter. Your participation on this matter would be greatly appreciated, as I can't understand how such a big mistake could be made. Bibby (talk) 21:22, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

replies: text:  Ok, thanks for assisting with this, so are we in agreement that this section should be deleted? Bibby (talk) 18:01, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think yes ... I suspect the nonsense is due to someone confusing Ragnar Frisch with Karl von Frisch! Ragnar F. was a pioneering econometrician, one of the statisticians who got tangled up with eugenics in the 1930s. So deleting it now. I'd be even keener for something sensible to be done about the badly-written and poorly-cited Nazism section. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:03, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that extra info. I was most perplexed, your explanation sounds reasonable. Thanks again. Bibby (talk) 00:14, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
