| So, long queues and important voting coming up | | Voting is vital for a democracy. We think bees operate with a semi-democracy inside the hive. There's actually a book titled, Honeybee Democracy, which speaks volumes of how a superorganism works so well. | |

| A look into some of how that works: | | Scouts informing foragers what they have found - plus 20% of scouts going out doing completely 'random' searches for undiscovered valuable forage! | | When a scout returns to the hive informing the colony of a new patch of food - specific recon scouts go to the site to verify. If they agree when they return, the new site gets updated | | More foragers go to collect and harvest nectar and or pollen.
Once the forage site loses value, the foragers stop going to it. | |

| There's less than 60-days until Christmas | | There's someone you know or perhaps that knows you, that would love something extra for their apiary, their hives and their beekeeping! | |
