Giannoni-Guzmán, Assistant Professor of Biology at Middle Tennessee State University. The conversation buzzes with incredible insights into the hidden lives of honeybees, exploring their highly evolved circadian rhythms and astonishing intelligence. Listeners will be amazed to learn how these tiny insects can navigate up to five miles from their hives, calculate complex travel routes, and actually solve two-stage problems. Gussman also delves into the famous "waggle dance," explaining the mathematical precision bees use to communicate the exact location, distance, and availability of food sources to the rest of the colony. Surprisingly, the bees map out the trek for other bees to follow.
