One day, when the temperature suddenly went up to the April level, a group of honeybees (Apis cerana japonica) were foraging on ume-plum blossoms. The number of bees was lower than the number of flowers in bloom. I followed a foraging path of one individual and found that the bee frequently moved from a flower to the next. (translated by Asoh)
