  • Bees are my favorite animals. They are intelligent and always work together. If people could learn from them, this world would be a better place.

  • All communication need not be verbal.It only involves transmission of data sender media and receiver.Here bees are using vector to communicate the location of food source.It suggests to me that if we have to communicate with aliens possibility of non verbal communication should not be ruled out.Nature uses non verbal communication among lots of speices especially in insect world

  • I praise God.. for all the wonderful things He has made...

  • Stupid bug, puts me to shame

  • bees are the shit

  • this was not helpful... i was looking for practice problems with vectors, instead i found dancing bees

  • incredible. nature is perfect

  • This reminds me when I got stung by a bee. I was chasing one then I came closer and closer and stung me. :(

  • woah those are some SMART bees

  • Fucking smart bees. WOW!

  • I learnt this in Linguistics. It's amazing...

  • they fly around covered in flower semen. the life a bee is hard shit.

  • @iobserveutube They get to see in near-ultraviolet though! Because fruits, seeds, flowers and so on stand out much more in that spectrum. Some birds even have plumage that is in patterns invisible to normal vision.

  • If you would like to buy hight-quality Yemen Sidr honey bees, I can sell to you at a very good price via eBay's website. I am a Top-rated Seller on eBay and I specialize in selling Sidr honey originating from Yemen.

    Item number: 110576608876

  • very interesting video, thanks for share it :D

  • spastic bee

  • But will it blend?

  • Comment removed

  • Bee behavior is amazing. Though I would like to see more study of this; is this really symbolic communication? How many other types of 'information' is moved through the hive? What do we know about the nervous system of these creatures? Move enough 0s and 1s fast enough; even gibberish becomes work?

  • @granddad2002 Hehe...Bee-havior...

    (You may hit me upside the head with a shovel.)

  • Fascinating!

  • The Qur'an mentions this. There is a chapter called "The Bee".. Where God say's:

    "And your Lord taught the honey bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men's) habitations; Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth), and find with skill the spacious paths of its Lord: there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men: verily in this is a Sign for those who give thought. (Surat an-Nahl (The Bee), 68-69)

  • @bm897

    This just states the admirable fact that bee's are good in finding their way, and maybe that honey is good for you. Not how in any way, so I fail to see how it's very relevant

  • @primat91

    It is revelent because the Qur'an was revealed over 1400 years ago. Have a nice day :)

  • @bm897

    It is relevant because it's an old book? I don't quite understand your logic.

    There's old (older than the Quran) egyptian books on how to take care of beehives. Wouldn't they be more relevant in your opinion then?

  • evolution is fake , god created the honeybees so we can learn calculus from them.

  • Totally amazing. (The bees are female, yes, but the whole video is mind blowing.)

  • Shake that ass!

  • Its too bad that the honeybee waggle dance is complete and utter rubbish. Go check out Adrian Wenner from UC, Santa Barbra (odor plume theory) who has been trying to get the scientific community to accept that bees aren't any different than other insects. They don't have some highly intelligent language to communicate food locations, they use the odor of the food source to recruit other bees, and this helps those bees locate the direction of the food source.

  • @michaels2100

    It seems like a more or less easy thing to test. I mean, if we humans can read their dance, we could easily check if bees from that colony is in the patch of flowers described. Not saying that odours isn't used at all, but rather that they have multiple methods.

  • Bees r interesting and hardworking. I hope we discover much more about bees in the next 20 years.

  • This just shows to prove that most things "invented" by humans already exists in a more advanced form in nature.

  • @newstone96 How? This isn't actually vector calculus. The bees just describe the vector and the shift in orientation is accounted for.

  • in my class its homework to watch this video

  • are you from turkey

  • The dance is so cute. :)

  • OMG BEES INVENTED DDR

  • @alexgao814 LMAO!

  • Bees can do math better then fred...

  • I love the feminine bee dance. Read "The Shamanic Way of the Bee" Power to the female workers, the queen and the beauty of medicinal bee products. - Melissae

  • Well you learn something new everyday. Something beautiful.

  • best insects EVAR!!!

  • Bees are amazing!

  • humans don't realize this but they are miserable failures everything they do is just mindless copying .. from some genetic memory humans think they're smart but even even their scientists are retarded zombies. only animals and plants have original thoughts humans never

  • @ZeroHumans yea figuring out how bees communicate is mindless copying.....

  • @eyesofjustice

    penispenispenispenispenis

  • @eyesofjustice

    Why would you say that "...there might be a god or there might not be. we will find out once we die."? A god is just a creator, just because we die doesn't mean we're going to see our maker. If you made a universe, would you bother to greet the infinite souls of the deceased when they die? I think not. When we die, the only thing we'll find out for sure is whether or not there's an afterlife. Although, if there isn't one, we won't find out :(.

  • Can they do my calculus homework for me?

  • @magicicle and my physics too, they understand frequency and light waves :D

  • @eyesofjustice Rule 25 and 26...

  • Animals are so much smarter than humans... :(

  • All foragers are female. So it should be her, not his, nestmates.

  • I love bees now.

  • that was cool

  • why cant the bee just fly to the place where the nutrients are and the other bees just fly after it :D

  • Jesus is Lord

  • How in the world does evolution explain bees adjusting for the new direction of the sun?

  • @tallmanan quite easily: if there was a colony whose scout bee could adjust for the change in the sun's position, that colony would have a more accurate position of the flowers and nectar source. Thus, that colony would have a competitive advantage and would be more likely to survive and reproduce.

  • @dracomalfoy724 very nicely said

  • @tallmanan: The ones that didn't know how to adjust starved and/or dies in competition. There is not an intelligent thought behind evolution. It's just that the worse beings die. And not being able to adjust = bad.

  • @Yetused: "died" of course.

  • Truly amazing! Bees will be okay. Imagine them as happy and healthy as they could be, and the bees will not fall to colony collapse.

  • Man cannot live by honey alone. Honey is the sweetness of life that makes all the other necessary sustenance taste just a little bit sweeter.

    Yum! Think I'll go make myself some hot buttered toast with peanut butter and honey!

  • @eyeofjustice. Are you telling the truth when you say you were born a muslim ?

    Do you still consider yourself a Muslim ?

  • Intelligence fail by the religious nuts below.

  • Amazing evidence of an Intelligent Designer! What an Awesome God.

  • amazing little creatures.

  • male honybees have 16 chromosones...............and that is the 16th chapter of the Quran Al-Nahl

    16x2=32 female honeybee chromosones each dived into 2 sets of 16

    also For queen bees, it takes 16 days from egg to emergence.

    She lays up to 2000 eggs per day.

    16th chapter has 128 verses if you 16x128=2048

    It is the only insect that produces food eaten by man.

  • im totally gonna do that the next time someone asks for dirctions. Ah vectors....

  • Dude! Wheres my car?

  • sh'up fool!

  • YES. It's a CONSPIRACY THEORY! We must destroy the world as we know it to preserve these facts, or else the world will fall to darkness. Come, let us unite under the true banner of glory! Science knows nothing, what has it ever done for us?!?! KILL!!!!!

  • what are u talking about

  • You should realize that drones are males. Workers are females.

  • hmm then why does mainstream science still think that drone bees are male

    are you saying every single scientist is against Islam? I find that just as unlikely as drone bees being female.

  • @aestheticanaesthetic 'reveals'? it can be observed/inferred on the basis that they look different from the queen and the others, and that their type NEVER mates with the queen.

  • its arbitrary. in this case, the sun moves, because they are referring to its position in the sky relative to a certain spot on earth. thus, 'the sun moves' is accurate. but yes, it is earth that orbits the sun.

    also, just because he calls the bee 'him' doesnt mean hes trying to say they're all male. all call all animals 'him' unless they are pets i know.

  • Probably, the most common bee controversy ever associated with Albert Einstein is if he had ever predicted this: "If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live"?

  • The narrator keeps referring to the forager bee as a HE. Folks. ALL FORAGER, GUARD and CLEANING BEES are FEMALES.

    What the hell? These are females, not males. How can this documentary get such a basic fact wrong?

  • Criosote, I just listened to this whole clip, and only heard the bee referred to as "he" once. Most of the time, they said "it"

  • @Criosote cool, thx for informing. this bee life is fascinating!

  • @Criosote

    Them sexist bastards!

  • @Criosote,

    I'm with you, but too often the producers of documentaries use science, then right dialogue they assume is fact, which is often wrong. I recall watching a similar situation where a documentary was focused on the Rocky Mountains, but the video showed pictures of Yosemite in the Sierra Nevada Mts. in California!

  • @Criosote doesn't he just refer to the forager bee as IT?

  • @Criosote you ignorant illiterate .... a video with this kind of information and the only thing you focused on is the genre of the bee, and you got it WRONG ... the workers are males and there is only one QUEEN "queen=female"

  • @PlxMistake Umm... illiterate? Me? I didn't focus only on the as you put it, "genre", I only decided to comment on an incorrect fact. And you got it wrong--honey bee workers are female. But if you get your information from Hollywood, and watched the factually incorrect Bee Movie, that would explain your comment.

  • @PlxMistake Umm...illiterate? Me? I only focused on pointing out a factual mistake about, as you put it, the "genre" of worker honey bees, for the benefit of people like you who get their scientific information from Hollywood movies such as Bee Movie, where again, the worker honey bees are incorrectly portrayed as male. If you don't care about reality, and want to continue living in a world where worker honey bees are male, be my guest.

  • @Criosote I get all my bee information from Doctor Who. Did you know that Agatha Christie saved our planet from giant alien bees? Its true. I saw it on TV. And they had to go back to their home world for some reason that had nothing to do with that episode, which caused the recent alarming reduction in real world bee numbers.

    ...No I didnt make any of that up. Its on the show. Were it not such a silly show this might bother me.

  • @Criosote

    It's because males are far more awesome than females - whatever the species.

  • @Criosote I dont know much about bees but i do know that not all ant families are the same . Not all have soldier ants or both female and male workers

  • @pureefficient There are many species of bees--between 3-4 hundred in NY state alone. I was only commenting on honey bees.

  • Loool looks like it's got torrets :P

  • @ 1:39: That should be "explaining to her hive-mates," not "explaining to his nest-mates." If it's a forager bee, it's a female. And bees, social insects, live in colonies (social structure) and hives (physical structure), not in nests.

    ...Still though, great video.

  • I always love science!!!Anyways why is it that the comments are arguing about religion and science?

  • WOW! so cool.

  • what is the name of this documentry?

  • Thanks for all the info on how to download a video from youtube. However I cannot proceed unless I get permission. So I'm waiting.

  • Yes you can download and use it.

  • @sinankosak

    Hi, I would like to download this video, could you help me please, thanks

  • @sinankosak

    Hello. Do you have the copyright to this video? If so, then can I have your permission to use it for a talk that I am giving in Westminster College, Pennsylvania. Thank you.

  • Is it possible to download a video from YouTube? I'd love to use this in a video project I'm doing if I could a) get permission and b) figure out how to download it. Am working on a small team with no budget :-(

  • Yeah. Go to flashload[dot]net and paste the URL for this video in, it will allow you to download the FLV (flash video) file for this youtube video. To play the FLV file you need a player that supports FLV playback, VLC Player is a good one.

  • Use a media converter

  • google "download from youtube" ^^

  • Wow.

  • since when did God's status hinge on a human argument about evolution ? not in my heart and mind. by the way though, who started the Big Bang. And, my secular scientists, what preceded the Big Bang ?

  • fractal universes or brane theory or maybe other things. Claiming that Santa Claus gifted us with the universe doesn't work because Santa had to have evolved.

  • farvision, fractals, membrane and yabba dabba doo. tell me what was the 1st event in the chronology of your secular model universe ? please dont try to BS your way out of this. if you dont know, just say so.

  • I'm a scientist, but not in that field. So I can only tell you that there are at least two alternative theories.

    The brane theory proposes the big bang was the collision of two membranes. google: brane universe theory . The other theory is that our universe pinched off a fractal structure, google: fractal bubble universe theory. Now it's up to you, that's my knowledge on the subject. The main point is that people are working on what happened to cause the big bang, but no theory has won yet.

  • So what if we don't know? We're still trying to find things out. Is it a problem to you if we simply tell you that we don't know because we haven't found out yet? Is there a problem with that? In my mind, that is simply basic courtesy and honesty. There is no problem with a child not knowing calculus.

  • so you ARE saying you "don't know" ? or, you are willing to sugest you might not know, in order to dodge my question ? any scientist wanting research grants or trying to get tenure / published has to have a damn good theory on their field. so, i ask again: if you dont think God began the Universe, then what was the first event in the chronology which brings us to today ? how did the Universe create itself and with what ? please, no string theory, gravitron, dark matter jismo.

  • What's wrong with saying that I don't know? I'm not dodging your question-I'm replying you in an honest manner. What does research grants have to do with it? Also, what do you have against String Theory or gravitons? They might be what we need to explain the Big Bang. Or maybe there isn't any explanation at all. Maybe it was spontaneous, maybe it wasn't. All I'm saying is that at this point I don't think any of 'em "secular scientists" know yet, but it's no reason to dismiss them outright.

  • Aristotle already answered that question in metaphysics. It's called "the prime mover". No benevolent God, no silly psalms, it just is. The prime mover. It's on wikipedia. Have a nice day.

  • metaphysics. wikipedia. you sure got the bases covered with that ?

  • If you're looking at efficient causes, you better believe it.

  • you think you could get a job in science or academia with your aristotle based metaphysics theorem ? why dont you raise your hand in your junior college class tomorrow and tell professor you can see beyond the Big Bang.

  • hahahahaha, rofl Try telling anyone outside of Brigham Young U that Jesus made the bees and you'll be laughed out of the room. Give it a rest, kid.

  • Jesus loves it when you get angry!

  • A Creation Is Best Known By Its Creator!

  • honeywords - you have a fundamental and extremely serious flaw in your thinking. Boil some water. Put a lot of sugar into the water until no more goes in. Put the saturated solution in a jar and suspend a string into the center so it doesn't touch the sides. Set aside. What happens? Who made these?

  • I cant see what u mean exactly !

    Do u mean u r gona find some insects born along the string afterwards?

    And u wonder how they were born in that isolated system ?

  • no the crystals.

  • honeywords sorry it took 3 months to get back to your question. The point of the example is that crystals form by a well understood mechanism (molecules fitting onto the surface of the crystal, started from a seed). No gods involved but a pattern appears. Heat leaves the system so its entropy goes down and that shows up as patterns.

  • I cant see what u mean exactly !

    Do u mean u r gona find some insects born along the string afterwards?

    And u wonder how they were born in that isolated system ?

  • Well...all what U put together is definately done by U. But ...

    Its some one other than U who put u in place as a LINK enabling the experiment.

    who is that WHO ?

  • Let's start with basic math. Probability of chance with evolution and phylogeny:

    # 10^19 for a ten amino acid polypeptide

    # 10^20 for a functional enzyme

    # 10^130 for the histone H4 molecule

    # 10^40,000 for all of life's 2,000 enzymes

    Let's not even get started with a cell.

  • interesting claims in this video,(is it true though, no evidence was given. Perhaps the bee just vibrates to shake off any remaining pollen that he is carrying?) But wouldn't it "bee" faster if the other bees just flew around and found there own flower instead of hanging around watching some guy buzz around for a while, while the sun sets.

    Cmon you lazy bees, I need honey!

  • If you take a classroom with 100 students in it, the probability of them all having their particular birth date distribution is (1/365)^100, yet there they all sit with their actual birthdays.

    You can't use probability to argue backwards and claim that an event is too improbable to happen.

  • You can if there is an independent set of variables.

    If all the students were sitting in an arrangement that corresponded to the order of their particular birth dates, you would have to be obtuse not to recognize that their seating was by design.

  • But it's obtuse to try and derive meaning from that "designed seating arrangement." What would a human get from that? That the January's are the first to die?

  • re: "derive meaning"

    COBE project findings, which Stephen Hawking said was "the most important discovery of the century, if not of all time" and Astrophysicist Michael Turner affirmed by saying "the significance of this cannot be overstated. They have found the Holy Grail of Cosmology" Findings which prove the universe was so finely tuned beyond natural reason at the Big Bang that George Smoot called them "the machining marks of the creation of the universe" & "the fingerprints of the Maker"

  • UNSUNGBAND, wrong. See my paper, link from my channel.

  • Yes and it's all the chance of evolution right? Yeah, sure.

  • Of course, not Unsungband, it was an old guy with a beard that taught these honey bees to wiggle their behinds. :))))

  • I hope natural selection disposed of idiots like you.

  • I love how people who dispose of evolution don't understand what evolution is. It's probably because they don't even understand what they DO believe ....

  • Yeah I don't know anything I've just spent 2 years in molecular biology and the evolution within genetics and miniscule particles like quarks and leptons.

  • UNSUNGBAND, then you should know that DNA polymerase makes mistakes and that this inevitably leads to evolution.

  • its funny how you have no understanding of evolution what-so-ever, and your genetics isnt all correct, you forgot many variables that lower the numbers there.

  • if my family had to depend on me to dance to show them where to get food , we all are in trouble , lol

  • SHA-King -----See Egyptian 18th Dynasty "Art" and B. Keeney's Kalahari Bushman Dances. Special thanks to NASA String Theory for providing superior support for in our defense!

  • bees are so cute

  • BEES ARE AWESOME !

  • Amazing, thank you for showing us a glimpse of precious nature.

  • vector calculus has nothing to do with BZZZZZZZzzzz this way until you hit this flower and then BZZZzzzzzz that way until u get to that flower ... thats relative motion

  • Yes very smart indeed. They're dissapearing tough because as we speak they're mass reproducing in caves to then attack humans in 2012, it's written in the bible God will send them!

  • Hahaha!

  • i may shock you by saying you stupidhead or you dummy

  • Are you smarter than a honeybee? now on fox!

  • Wow instinctual mathmatics!

  • This kind of proves that bugs, no matter what size, still have some intelligence. Enough to form their own way of translation to one another

  • Or it proves that they simply use instinct like all animals. Do you use intelligence to feed your sex drive? Or your desire to eat?

  • not all people can find their show he way home ;)

  • 0o

    Bright little insects :)

  • Marvelous Calculation from everyday Life Cycle from one of the most MARVELOUS creatures on da planet, GOD BLESS THE HONEYBEE!

  • you mean GODS?

  • Science damn you.

  • i dont think you people are taking much notice of another factor.For example think about the 6th dimension.Bees can see according to scientists quark shadows and this is why they dance, they are comminicating in a way we think we understand but do not understand. they are telling the other bees where the pollen is. But they are using the quark shadows to build up mental pictures for the bees of which way to go..like a sat nav in a way.

    if you have similar i deas send me a message.

  • I think Barbara Shipman has been criticized for her theory. If you know anything more recent than her 1997 paper, please, enlighten me.

  • The video clip doesn't meant to oppose or approve the God's existence but true understanding of communication within the bees. Dancing actually means the sending the message by the means of body movement.

  • "Dancing actually means the sending the message by the means of body movement."

    yeah, humans send the message "check me out, do you find me hot enough to get laid with me"
