🐝 NEW: #Bumblebees returning to a hive were filmed landing on a #flower model sliding sideways twice a second.

Three high-speed cameras recorded 48 landings, rebuilt in three dimensions. #Bees banked to match the platform’s motion, lagging slightly behind it, and models combining the flower’s visual motion with the bee’s turning rate reproduced their flights.
