In the latest ABJ  Frédéric Eggers de Villepin questions whether bees have a free will. He wrote:

> There is probably no such thing as free will on the part of individuals, but a necessary and not insignificant variation in the habitus of individuals, defined and adapted by their interactions with each other and with their environment.

see: de Villepin. (2024). “Self-organization and collective behavior in honey bee colonies.” February ABJ
