摘要
To survive during colony reproduction, bees create dense clusters of thousands of suspended individuals. How does this 群集, which is orders of magnitude larger than the size of an individual, maintain mechanical stability? We hypothesize that the internal structure in the bulk of the 群集, about which there is little prior 資訊, plays a key role in mechanical stability. Here, we provide the first-ever 3D reconstructions of the positions of the bees in the bulk of the 群集 using x-ray computed tomography. We find that the mass of bees in a layer decreases with distance from the attachment surface. By quantifying the distribution of bees within 群集s varying in size (made up of 4000-10,000 bees), we find that the same 冪次定律 governs the smallest and largest 群集s, with the weight supported by each layer
