Anonymous Coward User ID: 65988170 United States 04/29/2016 12:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "There is only one honey bee queen, and there are now thousands and thousands of workers. There comes a point when the crowd is so great, that not all of the workers have access to the queen. They are no longer receiving her pheromone signals, and so for them, she is non-existent! This induces within these workers the need to create a new honey bee queen. Soon, we shall have swarming bees! Why? There is no space in the colony for more than one queen (oh, and over-crowding in a hive can also encourage swarming). Before the new queen emerges, the old queen takes off with part of the colony to establish a new nest." [link to www.buzzaboutbees.net] so...let the swarming commence? |

I think this was more to do with poking at a bee and trying to make it move.... the bee went outside, and there were thousands of them... they turned, and buzzed in a quite intense unified 'buzz'... they took a shape of a giant single creature.... This is something that I would not particularly want to mess with... at all... |

LOL! just stretching my imagination in a speculative fashion. all metaphorical of course. |
