The one they should really

go for is this one over here.

It's the right size,

it's got room for growth,

the entrance hole is also

the right size,

so this, if I was a bee,

this is the one I'd be going for.

The question is,

will the bees choose the right one?

The first thing the swarm does is

send out the scouts.

It's their job to search for a new

home, inspect the premises,

and report back.

They're looking for a nice, roomy

hive, safe from predators

and south-facing, to make

the most of the early morning sun.

And after a thorough investigation

of all three hives,

it's time to head back to base.

What's really amazing about all this

is the way that the scout bees

communicate that vital information

back to the swarm.

It's all about the waggle dance.

With their best dance moves,

the scouts tell other bees which

direction to go.

The length of the waggling

gives them a distance.

One second of waggle equals half a

mile of flying. But that's not all.

The energy that they perform

that dance

indicates the quality of the house.

Look at this one here.

She is really going for it. This is

a really high-energy waggle dance.

Lots of enthusiasm.

She's doing it over and over again.

And that will tell

the rest of the swarm

that what she's found could be

the perfect home.

We used to think that the decision

was all down to the bees'

waggle dance.

When enough bees dance for the same

hive, a decision was made.

But recently, scientists realised

there was something much

more interesting

happening on the dance floor.

Some of the dancing bees were

on the receiving end

of a sneaky

head-butt, a signal to stop dancing.

So it's actually a combination

of enthusiasm and bullying

that helps the bees agree

and prevents a decision deadlock.

So what does this swarm

make of the three hives?

Jeez! They're everywhere.

Well, those 40,000 bees have now

taken to the air,

absolutely full of...the noise

is incredible

and they're all heading to that

hive over there

and so far, not one sting.

Ooh! Ow!

Something just got me!

Sorry, correction - one sting!

And while two of the hives

are still empty,

hive C is proving popular and

the bees are moving in en masse.

They've made the decision

collectively

and they've picked this hive. This

was the one I thought they'd pick.

It's absolutely right,

is the right size.

It's the perfect angle,

the perfect everything.

And it's their group

intelligence,

the ability to use the power

of the swarm to make the right

decision that makes honeybees

the ultimate team...

Because it's a fact that hundreds

of individuals

make a better decision together

than a single expert.
