Collectively Make Decisions

Western Honey bees live together in colonies ranging from 30,000 to 80,000 bee members that actively cooperate to survive. Western honey bee colonies consist of three types of bees: The queen, drones, and worker bees.
Honeybees make group decisions by operating in quorums via "waggle dance." This unanimous group decision-making is used to select new hive locations using data collection, communication, and deliberation. By better understanding honey bees' processes to make decisions collectively, humans can learn how to process information systems within societies to make group decisions that benefit humanity as a collective group.
