BeeStings
Description
Does number of beestings depend on previous stings?
Format
A dataset with 18 observations on the following 3 variables.
Occasion | Trial: I to IX |
Treatment | Fresh or Stung |
Stingers | Number of stingers |
Details
If you are stung by a bee, does that make you more likely to get stung again? Might bees leave behind a chemical message that tells other bees to attack you? To test this hypothesis, scientists dangled a 4x4 array of 16 muslin-wrapped cotton balls over a beehive. Eight of 16 balls had been previously stung; the other eight were fresh. The response was the total number of new stingers left behind by the bees. The process was repeated for a total of nine tials.
