Sometimes it is worthwhile to look at the details, to study aspects that seem to be uninteresting or were previously ignored, and see noteworthy phenomena come to light. This has been the experience of honeybee researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Center for the Advanced Study of Collective Behavior (CASCB) at the University of Konstanz and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior.

Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Center for the Advanced Study of Collective Behavior (CASCB) and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior have converted a former barn into a cutting-edge technology lab for complex behavioral analysis. In it, they can now study the intricate behavior of animal groups. The barn also served as a prototype for the largest swarm behavior lab at the University of Konstanz: the Imaging Hangar. Details have been published in Science Advances. A major
