"Choice" is a matter of semantics.  To me, choice implies consciousness. 
Without consciousness, an organism can react to stimuli or exhibit 
conditioned reflexive behavior, neither of which is "choice", although they 
may look like it.   Consciousness is a much-debated field, and personally I 
doubt that bees are ever conscious at any time.  Not enough brain.
