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They repealed the experiments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.
