Title: Unknow bee questions...
Post by: TerraJoy on May 31, 2011, 07:53:42 PM
What are some mysteries within the bee world that scientist and/or beekeepers can not explain?

Example: How do newborn bees know what their first job is?

Thanks!

Where to start?    There are just so many.   Bees are just so complex.   From the different ways the communicate to the ways a hive "decides" something as a whole or just all the bee pheromones.
