you may have heard me mention previously the possible demise of thousands of bees and the effect this could have on food supplies for we humans. or maybe not. in any case, i read today this story about canadian mounties helping to round up some disappearing bees in novia scotia. the beekeeper said:
" ...the colony was likely "stressed" and became dissatisfied with their queen. So, they raised a rival queen and then sent her into exile. But half of the hive left with the deposed queen to "look for a new home.""
he was worried that people might be scared by the swarm and try to attack it. i just find it fascinating to learn about the structure of societies other than human.
