BeeDrink: Drinking energetics of honeybees.

Description Usage Format Details

Description

An entomologist conducted an experiment to understand the how much energy a honeybee expends while drinking liquids at different temperatures and different viscosity of liquid. To control viscosity, the researcher varied the amount of sucrose in the liquid (20,40 or 60
