Bees do it: bilingual bees teach humans a lesson

[Doug Harris]

The world's steadily increasing population -- save for that of some
indigenous tribes in Brazil -- suggests people are particularly
adept at understanding each other's "wagging their bodies from side
to side and moving at an angle to the sun, then looping back to do it
all over again."
(Seldom if ever do you hear one human asking another, upon witnessing
such behavior, "what you bees doing?")

>>perhaps we'd get along better, too_.

Now, there's a forlorn hope, if there ever was one! Don't we already
speak and learn to speak one another's languages?
