I wonder if this is similar to the bees vote on a new home. The forager comes back and signals "Hi Five" and other foragers come back and also signal so how is it the new home is selected? I have never understood how the hive actually selects a new home. This http://www.npr.or...n-humans
has a better explanation as to how and why. This author says that the bee gives a "Hi Five" and then says to herself: "Its out of my hands now." Altho the author says that all bees quit after their best effort or it would gum up the works, I have read that a dancing bee has literally been shoved off the dance floor. Hmmm.
