"Bees are stupid little thing"     With all due respect I object. Bees
communicate communication is intelligent ,intelligence is NORMALLY an
absence of stupidity. I am not yelling only emphasizing. As a trainer I
found that words can be time bombs in a learning process.  My personal
opinion is the hive does beehave like a single organizim but displays
remarkable intelligence. It appears as though they behave as a single cell
when looking at swarm behavior.
