Funny you should mention bees.  Go look up bees and ants in your
encyclopedia sometime.  The sophistocated communication among them
is truly amazing.  Bees find food, then return to the hive and do a
dance in the shape of a circle with a wiggly line up the middle.
The wiggly line points in the direction of the food, and the frequency
of wiggles says how far it is.  I think ants have something along
these lines too.  They aren't exactly huge brained intelligent
creatures, but they obviously have a good deal of processing power.
