honey bees can navigate by the Sun, by the polarization pattern of the blue sky, and by the Earth's magnetic field; of these, they rely on the Sun when possible...

Furthermore, the intensity of Rayleigh scattered radiation is identical in the forward and reverse directions. The Rayleigh scattering model breaks down when the...
