Honee Bees / Magnetic sensing

Says honey bees sense the earth's magnetic field using iron particles in their abdomens. This magnetic sense is behaviourally significant across a great deal of bee activities from the waggle dance to the orientation of built comb. Doesn't go into significant detail besides citing a great deal of experimental studies.
