Did the honeybee’s landing strategy evolve?
Ngaba indlela ehlala ngayo inyosi eyenza ubusi yazivelela?

Consider: A safe landing requires that the honeybee reduce its approach speed to nearly zero before contact.
Khawucinge ngoku: Ukuze le nyosi iye kuhlala endaweni ingakhange ibetheke kufuneka isehlise kakhulu isantya ebhabha ngaso ingekafiki.

Consider: The compound eye of certain insects, such as the honeybee and the dragonfly, is made up of multiple optical units, each of which points in a different direction.
Phawula: Iliso elintsonkothileyo lezinambuzane ezithile, njengenyosi nohlabamanzi, lineenxalenye ezininzi, nganye kuzo ekwaziyo ukujonga kwicala elahlukileyo.

HONEYBEES can safely land at virtually any angle without problems.
IINYOSI ezenza ubusi ziyakwazi ukuya kuhlala naphi na zingakhange zibetheke.

Complex scientific studies have revealed that by dancing, a honeybee informs others in the hive of the location, type, and even quality of the food found.

Experiments conducted at the Australian National University indicate that the honeybee decreases its flight speed so that the rate of apparent enlargement of an object remains constant.
Uhlolisiso olwenziwe yiAustralian National University lubonisa ukuba inyosi eyenza ubusi iye yehlise isantya ebhabha ngaso ukuze le ndawo iya kuyo ihlale iyibona kakuhle.

Indlela Ehlala Ngayo Inyosi Eyenza Ubusi

By the time the honeybee reaches its target, its speed has decreased to almost zero, allowing it to land safely.
Ifika kuloo ndawo isantya sayo sesiphantsi kakhulu kangangokuba ayibetheki xa ihlala.
