Collective Behavior in Honey Bees
When honey bees find food, they come back to the hive and tell other bees about where the food is. They communicate this through a “waggle dance”. In the School of Complex Adaptive Systems, we run computer models to see how the spreading of information between bees allows the entire colony to make better decisions as a group. For this demonstration, participants can play with our computer simulation of bee behavior as it runs in real time.
