Patch Departure Behavior of Bumble Bees: Rules and Mechanisms

Table 2

Departure patterns of bumble bees on treated inflorescences of Aconitum columbianum. Second replication of the experiment with four microliters of 30% sucrose solution placed in bottom flowers of the inflorescence, zero in second-from-bottom flowers. Goodness of fit test for the null hypothesis of equal probability to depart: ${\chi }^2=5.24\text{,}$$P<.01$.
