I find the animals in the video to be more intelligent than most of the TED speakers.
Bees are communists.
"Bees are communists." -- Benji
No, if bees were communists they would produce nothing but poverty, misery and death.
Che--
touche!
Although, I would contend that (for the worker-bees) you have aptly described a bee colony. They work relentlessly, have a hovel for a home and keep none of the wealth (honey).
Ergo, bees are communists!
Richard Dawkins also has some nice bits on pollination in "The Greatest Show on Earth".
@Benji
Unfortunately (or fortunately?!?), we human are not bees.
