    Honeybees let out a whoop when they bump into each other

    You can hear them on the video!

    "By placing cameras inside the hive, the researchers discovered that the signal often happens when a bee bumps into another bee near the accelerometer, and not when bees are waggle dancing or exchanging food.

    ?We suggest that, in the majority of instances, it is bees being startled that produce the signal,? says Bencsik. The team propose that instead of the ?stop? signal, it should be called the ?whooping? signal."

    "A still more glorious dawn awaits
    Not a sunrise, but a galaxy rise
    A morning filled with 400 billion suns
    The rising of the milky way"

    If we do not destroy ourselves
    We will one day venture to the stars" -Carl Sagan

    This is great! I've actually seen them run into each other and heard a louder buzz. To me it sounds like road rage because then they both fly away from each other like po'd motorcyclists.

    Wow! You did have a backlogs of science! It's good to see your science articles again.
