All other details as in Figure 1. ignated as "accurate" and all arrivals at other times are considered "; This measure of time-sense precision assumes with von Frisch (1967) that antici- patory visits are an integral part of the foraging behavior of honeybees and should not be regarded as inaccurate. The average percentage of "accurate" arrivals was for the morning, for the noon, and for the evening experiments (Note that Table I shows percentages for individual experiments). A chi-square analysis demonstrates that the morning group significantly outperformed both the noon and evening groups (P < in both cases). Also, the noon group was significantly more "accurate" than the evening group (P < ). Another parameter which is important in terms of foraging efficiency is the ability to predict when a nectar source will no longer be available, , to shut down foraging activity at the appropriate time. Only of the total number of morning arrivals occurred within the one-hour period immediately following the training time. By comparison, the noon and evening groups exhibited much higher levels of activity at the foraging station after the termination of the training time than did the morning group; and respectively, of the total responses lie within this time-frame. This result is surprising, especially so for the evening group, since.
