From the article:
http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/060502_bee_decision.html
"Instead of hashing it out endlessly, the group usually makes a decision with no more than 16 hours of dancing debate. As soon as 15 or more bees are at any one site, the scouts signal to the waiting bees in the swarm to warm up their flight muscles. Soon, the swarm lifts off toward its new home."
I'm also posting this to our website (www.theocba.org), where I've been submitting other interesting articles. Feel free to contribute interesting articles at your leisure.
Thanks!
