Honey bee recruits locate food sources by olfaction and not by use of distance and direction information contained in the recruitment dance. Recruitment efficiency increases as odor of the food source accumulates in the hive, from hour to hour and from day to day. Flight patterns, landing patterns, bee odor, and Nassanoff secretion apparently do not aid in recruitment of bees.
蜜蜂招募同伴是通过嗅觉，而非利用招募舞中包含的距离和方向信息。随着食物源的气味在蜂巢中逐小时、逐日积累，招募效率会提高。飞行模式、着陆模式、蜜蜂气味和纳氏腺分泌显然无助于蜜蜂的招募。
