Abstract
⺠Larger colonies of honeybees benefit more from communication than smaller colonies. ⺠Larger colony size and communication together improve per-trip foraging performance. ⺠Earlier peaks in foraging activity suggest larger colonies find resources faster. âºÂ Larger colonies may benefit more because they gather information more effectively.
