Self-paced
Henry: Some scientists explain the dance of honeybees as the means by which honeybees communicate the location of whatever food source they have just visited to other members of the hive. ███ █████████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ███████████ █ █████████ ██ ███████████ ████ ████████████ ███████ █████████ █████████ ██ █████ ████ ██████ █████ █ █████ █████ ████ ███ ████ ██████ ████ ████ ████ ████████ █████ ████ █████████ ██ ████ █████ ███████████ ███ ███ ██████████ ██████

Speaker 1 Summary
Henry argues that the purpose of the honeybees’ dance must be for something besides alerting other bees to the location of food. This is because bees already have another method of communicating the location of food - scent trails from the food source.
Speaker 2 Summary
Winifred points out that animals can have multiple methods for achieving the same goal. So, it’s possible honeybees alert others to food sources through their dance, even if they already have another method for alerting others to food sources.

The point at issue between █████ ███ ████████ ██ ███████
a
theories of animal ████████ ███ ██ ███████████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ████████ █████ ████ ███ ███████ ██ ██████
Henry doesn’t have an opinion on this. He doesn’t try to infer anything about a general theory of animal behavior from a single species. His argument is solely about honeybees and the purpose of their dance.
b
there is more ████ ███ █████ ███████████ ███ ███ █████ ██ █████████
Henry has no opinion. He thinks there must be another explanation besides communicating food source. But he could be open to one or multiple other explanations.
c
honeybees communicate the ████████ ██ ████ ███████ ███████ █████ █████
The speakers disagree. Henry thinks there must be a different explanation for why honeybees dance. Winifred believes this is a potential explanation for the dance.

the honeybee is ███ ████ ███████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ███████ ██ █████████████ ████████████ ███████████ ██ █████ ████ ███████
Henry has no opinion. We know he thinks forager honeybees communicate location of food through a scent trail. We don’t know whether he thinks other kinds of bees also do this or whether other kinds of bees use other methods for communicating the location of things.
e
the honeybee's sense ██ █████ █████ █ ████ ██ ███ ████████ ██████████
The speakers agree. Henry believes this because he acknowledges honeybees communicate food location through a scent trail. Winifred also acknowledges this method of communicating food location - it’s a supplementary method of communication.
