BEES ON THE PORCH  

One indicator of bee intelligence is in the way they show others how to get to flowers with

nectar. The bees will dance in a circle and waggle their tails. The pattern of the dance,

based on the direction of the sun, tells other bees which direction to go. The length of the

dance indicates distance. 

I  think bees are perceptive.

"Bees, I think, are like a dog," If you're scared of them, they'll take

advantage of you."

Bees aren't just smart, but also have a working spirit.

"Bees are born with responsibility. That means they are born with a job. 

The hard work starts with the queen. When

a "good" queen rules over the hive, she will

lay good eggs that turn into productive workers. Honey production will be high and the

hive will prosper. Lower quality queens mean the hive will produce less and have more

Problems. The queen bee is the heart of the hive, like mom is in the home.
