Abstract

A foraging bee approaching a food source visually fixates the food source before it lands on it. During this process of fixation the bee adjusts its rotatory and translator flight components to fixed values with respect to all six degrees of freedom. © 1977, Verlag der Zeitschrift für Naturforschung.
