| Summary: |
Tanging, the act of hitting metal objects together to produce a clanging sound, is used by some beekeepers to induce flying swarms to settle. The effectiveness of this practice is anecdotally supported, but has never been experimentally tested. In this experiment, four swarms were exposed to tanging during the first 255 ± 112 m of their flights to new nest sites. In total, tanging was performed over 1019 m, for 22 min 56 sec. No evidence was found that tanging causes a flying swarm to settle.

| Summary in another language: |
El golpeteo, es decir el acto de golpear objetos de metal para producir un sonido metálico, es utilizado por algunos apicultores para inducir que los enjambres se asienten. La eficacia de esta práctica se conoce anecdóticamente, pero nunca ha sido probada experimentalmente. En este experimento, cuatro enjambres se expusieron al golpeteo durante la primera 255 ± 112 m de sus vuelos a nuevos sitios de anidación. En total, el golpeteo se realizó sobre 1.019 m, durante 22 min 56 seg. No se encontró evidencia de que el golpeteo provoque que un enjambre en vuelo se asiente.
