Quantifying the honey bee dance floor: A data-driven method for defining and comparing waggle dance regions
Fig 5
Dance-density and dance floor-inclusion heatmaps.
Dance densities were calculated from all observation periods over all days from (A) Colonies 1–4 (8-frame) and (B) Colonies 5–8 (4-frame). Note that the lack of dances on the wooden frame boundaries and the perceived lack of dances on the grid lines are still visible in panel A (see Fig 4). Dance floor-inclusions were calculated for each point in the hive as the proportion of observations that are included in the calculated dance floor from (C) Colonies 1–4 (8-frame) and (D) Colonies 5–8 (4-frame).
