Comments 3and 4

3 I agree with Valeria when she discusses the quote "On leaving the old nest, the swarm normally flies only a few meters and settles. Scout bees look for a suitable place to start the new colony. Eventually, one location wins favor and the whole swarm takes to the air." witch appears before chapter two. I also thought that the first part of the quote was also obviously explaining the time when Lily left her house but I did not think of the other things that she mentioned. Such as Lily's indecisiveness explaining the part in the quote about a scout bee looking for a home.

4 I agree with Katherine‘s post when she described the quote before chapter nine “The whole fabric of honey bee society depends on communication- on an innate ability to send and receive messages, to encode and decode information.” I also wrote about this quote but with a completely different perspective. I thought that comparing the statement in the quote about communication to non verbal communication was a very interesting idea.
