      you mean if it is possible to recognize single bees into a nest? Or do you wanna know if the bees themselves are able to recognize their nestmate?

      Well, I concerning the first question, I am only able to recognize different kind of honeybees inside a hive, in particular, I can identify easily who is the queen, the workers and the drones. But I cannot identify among workers bees one in particular.

      If the bees are able to recognize their nestmate, well, to be honest, I do not know. I am sorry
