Prof:
near the hive, say, oh, about 50 or 60 meters away, the scout flies in a round pattern, like a
circle. This tells the location, but not the direction, of the food site. If the site is farther away,
the scout does what's called a waggle dance. It flies in a pattern of ovals and vertical lines.
The speed of the waggle dance tells other bees how far away the food site is. The slower the
dance, the farther away the food. If the scout flies in a vertical line up the side of the beehive,
it's telling the foragers to fly directly toward the sun. If the scout flies vertically down the hive,
it's saying, "fly away from the sun." Up is toward, down is away. If the scout flies at an angle
to the hive, it's telling the foragers to fly neither toward nor away from the sun, but in
between. The bees have a special internal mechanism to know which angle they should fly,
based on the sun, the hive and the food site. They can also measure the distance they fly by
recording the motion of things they see as they flypast.

the British scientists solved this problem using a new type of radar. They were able to attach a, uh, small radio transmitter to forager bees -- I don't know how, but they did. This enabled them to follow the forager bees' flight after they left the hive. The radar showed that foragers, do, in fact, fly straight to the area of the food site. They don't follow the scout bee back to the site, because the scout goes into the hive after it finishes dancing. Well then, if the waggle dance does lead the foragers directly tothe
food site, why does it take so long for them to find the actual food? The answer is that the waggle dance leads the
foragers only to the general area of the food. It doesn't tell them the exact location of the flowers or plants that have the food. So the foragers have to spend a while flying around the area before they find the exact location of what they're looking for.

Prof: Today we're going to begin with a short quiz. No, no, you don't need pencil and paper, just listen. It's only one question. Ready? OK. What do blogs, Pokemon, tattoos, Cabbage Patch Kids, pet rocks, and hula hoops have in common?Anybody?
S1: They're all stupid.[laughter]
S2: I know, Professor Morgan. They're allfads.
Prof: trend, forexample.
become atrend.
Ahem [clears throat or coughs] Here's a third difference between fads and trends: how well industries accept them. Fads are often promoted by smaller companies. They need the quick money that fads provide. Large companies don't accept fads right away. They can't afford to be wrong. If someone [false start] If a company is known as a trend-setter, and it promotes a fad, its reputation will be damaged. Large companies buy products in huge numbers. They don't want unsold products sitting on their shelves. So they wait to see if a fad becomes a trend. Then they will accept it in their stores. Now...yes?
S2: How long does a fad have to last before it becomes a trend? I mean, there are all these energy drinks now. There used to be only a couple, but now there's like, a hundred. Are they still a fad? Exercise is a trend, so wouldn't energy drinks be part of the exercisetrend?
Prof: That's an excellent question! When exactly does a fad become a trend? Youknow,
