• Some questions are difficult to answer through observation
• We can model these systems and provide defined areas of focus for researchers

• Honey Bees create hives of hexagonal cells that are filled with larvae, brood, and pollen.
• We don’t know how Honey Bees maintain their hive structures or why some hives fail.
• Models offer insight

• Queen Bees deposit larvae (brood) into cells.
• Worker Bees collect pollen for food and nectar to make honey.
• Nurse Bees raise larvae with honey and pollen.
• Thus brood need to be close to honey cells

• If you bias the queens movement towards the center of the hive, honey bees will maintain the patterning seen in nature.
• Bees do not need to know where everything is in the hive.
• Focusing on a few factors is key to understanding how Honey Bee’s organize their hives.
