About this listen
Honeybees make decisions collectively-and democratically. Every year, faced with the life-or-death problem of choosing and traveling to a new home, honeybees stake everything on a process that includes collective fact-finding, vigorous debate, and consensus building. In fact, as world-renowned animal behaviorist Thomas Seeley reveals, these incredible insects have much to teach us when it comes to collective wisdom and effective decision making. A remarkable account of scientific discovery, Honeybee Democracy brings together, for the first time, decades of Seeley's pioneering research to tell the amazing story of house hunting and democratic debate among the honeybees.

Great for beekeepers
Thomas Seeley's research is enlightening and has real-world implications for anyone keeping or hoping to keep honeybees. Of particular use is the preferences of the bees in choosing a suitable home.

This could have been condensed to 5 minutes
I realize the author spent a lot of his life doing this research, but unless you're interested in him as a person--that is, if you just want to know how bees make their decisions--you should Google up a summary and read it 8 times to make sure it sticks. I actually found myself losing track of the core facts because they were buried in so much extra padding.
