About this paper

Grzegorz Chrupała

The authors model bee colonies in which senders and receivers can adjust a shared directional code as combs tilt, shifting between direct pointing and a gravity-based reference to the sun. Simulations produce stable transitions under favorable modeled conditions: one selected decoder succeeded in 95 of 100 held-out seeds. This demonstrates feasibility, not evolutionary likelihood or history.
