This week, I cover chapter 6 of Honeybee Democracy by Thomas Seeley. This chapter is all about how the scout bees of a swarm come to a consensus on their new nest site. We will learn about how nest site quality relates to waggle dance enthusiasm; how the discoverer scouts recruit other bees to support their site; and whether scout bees compare various nest sites to assess quality, or whether they have an innate knowledge of what makes a nest site good or bad.

Visit my website for a full rundown of everything discussed plus some nifty photos.

And if you're interested in helping the folks of Texas as they come through their recent freeze, you can donate via The Red Cross, or support a pet charity that is helping Texans and their pets during this difficult time.

Thanks for listening, and stay safe out there!
