r J The Bend 2u.'iel?R, Monday, January 21. H57 1 1 r Bees Paralyzed By Of High Intensity Ky DKIH SMITH llnltici I'r'-ss Science Kdltor new YORK (UP) Selenco ha: n 1 ; 1 1 1 mm-e ab:ut honey b-r:;, but this little may be all f. -it !s nci!"u-ii jor anyone lo pin sX'ly wilh the fascinating if dan grrous little creatures. The new knowledge is that when i.oo li-ve is eauEht in- sound waves of certain frequencies of high intensity, every bee In tne hive slops whatever it was duinp and stands still. While the noisf continues, you can put your nakec hands into the hive without the lctst worry the bees seem paralyzed. An odd thing is that sound waves below or above those fre quencies or of lesser intensity, do nothing lo the bees. They seem to Ignore those waves and with undiminished energy hasten to de ' fend the home-hive against any and all threats. S'iu:id Waves Felt Hubert Krings and Franklin Lit tle of Pennsylvania Slate Univer sity, who acquired this infoima ,;,, ihrniich careful exnerimcnta- tion,, thought the bees felt the sound waves in their legs lather ihaiv.heard them. So far as is known, bees don't hear in the sense that we hear, but it has 4ieen known since the days of the ancient Greeks that sounds mean things to them. For instance, the old Greeks knew honey bees themselves made sounds while doing certain things. Since no activity ot (he bee represents waste, those sounds must mean things to other bees. 5ee scientists have never ceased lo argue over what those things rw'.M be. I Frings and Utile put their r mini oscillators either ngainsl or close lo the hives, so that the vi l.iations of sound waves actually vibrated the hive. They noticed throughout that bees outside the hive and bees in the entrance, seemed to be entirely unaffected. Frequencies, .beginning ut 300 cy cles per second and upward to 1,000 cycles at intensities between 107 and 116 decililes, made the bees stand still. "The quiescence r( the bees was so complete," they said in their report lo the Atnerieiiii Association for the Ad vancement of Science, "that a old imel.v ouen the hive mid carry out routine ser vicing. K'nljuiienf Kvnenslve They experimented first with bees In experimental hives which had glass sides so they could see i,i,nt umc tTnincr nn within. Switch ing lo standard hives, they found no differences in what happened. They repealed the experiments over several months wilh the same group of bees and found that the bees didn't slop reacting. Their, sound - making equipment was expensive, as it has to be when frequencies and intensities can be varied and precisely con trolled. Therefore, it hardly would pay lo buy it merely to use it on bees. Professional beekeepers now use smoke to make bees logy and harmless, but that requires skill and trouble. The scientists sug gested that inexpensive vibrators could be attached to hives and might work as well. However, nearby human ears would have to be plugged sounds of such fre quencies and intensities arc most unpleasant. Call Sparks Bomb Hunf PORTLAND (UP) An anony mous call to newspaper offices in Honolulu Saturday night stating that there was a bomb aboard a s'orihwest Airlines plane brought police, federal agents and govern nent inspectors swarming into the Portland International airport icrc yesterday.
