From the delicious honey and royal jelly to the geometrically precise and statically excellent structure of their honeycombs, their navigational abilities through sensory achievements like optical odometers and solar compasses, the thermal engineering and insulation of their nests, as well as the social organization of their division of labor, their reproductive behavior, and their communication through dances with their abdomens, scents, and acoustic signals, bees are among the most fascinating and economically valuable domesticated animals for humans. They have inspired thinkers like Aristotle to explore sociological considerations. Passionate bee researcher Jürgen Tautz explains the knowledge gained about bees since then and the remarkable abilities of the "superorganism honeybee.".
