Le api giganti difendono l'alveare attraverso un comportamento collettivo noto come "shimmering".Migliaia di api muovono sincronicamente l'addome generando onde che si propagano all'interno del nido. I pattern generati ricordano gli automi cellulari artificiali. L'effetto funge da difesa visiva, confondendo e scoraggiando i predatori.#Bees #Shimmering #SwarmIntelligence #Nature #Biology #complexity https://www.sciencenews.org/article/giant-honeybee-shimmering-nest-behavior-defense
