This book deals with the general intelligence of Bees and Wasps; their powers
of Communication; powers of special sense, memory and emotions; their general
habits in architecture, wars...
“Those who have stored honey in their houses understand very well how
important it is to prevent a single bee from discovering its location. Such
discovery is sure to be followed by a general onslaught from the hive unless
all means of access is prevented...
According to De Fravière, bees have a number of different notes or tones which
they emit from the stigmata of the thorax and abdomen, and by which they
communicate information.
As soon as a bee arrives with important news, it is at once surrounded, emits
two or three shrill notes, and taps a comrade with its long, flexible, and
very slender feelers, or antennæ. The friend passes on the news in similar
fashion, and the intelligence soon traverses the whole hive. If it is of an
agreeable kind—if, for instance, it concerns the discovery of a store of sugar
or of honey, or of a flowering meadow—all remains orderly. But, on the other
hand, great excitement arises if the news presages some threatened danger, or
if strange animals are threatening invasion of the hive. It seems that such
intelligence is conveyed first to the queen, as the most important person in
the state...
