Do ants and bees communicate telepathically?

[lilkobe]

Do ants and bees have a hivemind controlled by the queen? I saw somewhere that scientists killed a queen in an ant hill and all the ants that were previously doing a task suddenly went crazy and scattered off into the world when the queen died. Also how do ants know to all do specific tasks, for example in the amazon ants are sent out on scouting missions to find new food sources.

I know a couple ants, no bees though. They tell me that your post is bullshit.

probably along the lines of radiowaves or some undetected wavelength. their antennas are there for a reason.

Have you noticed that all of your threads are just all made up BS with no factual evidence whatsoever to back it up other than your "opinion"?

how is my post bullshit?

My one about Asians being shitty drivers is statistically true.

bees communicate through dancing. Ants touch each other on the end of their knobs.

No telepathy :(

ANSWER: Ants communicate with pheromones and leaving pheromone trails.

That's how the scouting parties lead other ants to the new food sources, and when an ant is killed it releases a pheromone that sends nearby ants into an attack frenzy.

When a queen is killed it releases a pheromone that makes the ants go crazy because they have to decide which female will become the new queen so they go above ground.

Then the chosen one (I dont know how they choose) ingests pheromones found in the dead queen and transforms into the new queen of the hive!

Wow pretty cool

Dogs sniffing each other and the earth is actually the way they "communicate" but this communication is more like passing of information. "Instinct" is highly over valued by popular science with these animals, they are in fact transferring immeasurable shared/collective experience with one another through a heightened olefactory sense. There is a goverment program attempting to design a mask like aparatus that could theoretically allow humans to access this basically metaphysical ability. Information could be absorbed almost like the cable-through-the-hole-in-your-neck Matrix thing.

Kinda like religion... :oldlol:

I saw something quite interesting a while ago, scientists were studying how bees can fly around in these confined spaces in huge numbers and never fly into each other. They were trying to relate it back to air traffic control systems and further down the track cars that drive themselves. Pretty cool.
