A biologist, a neuroscientist, and a musician found four distinct "modes" of transition

This is wildly interesting. I took some linguistics coursework back in the day, and some of the the early curriculum was animal communication: bird song, bee "dancing" etc.

Scientifically accurate representation of bees 🐝🐝

A Male Eastern Carpenter Bee…

…showing off his green eyes and white face.  These guys are great big bruisers and like to intimidate us unsuspecting humans by swooping right unto us, as my neighbor can attest.  Word has it that they cannot sting, so it’s all show.

By the time I came along he was practicing his mating dance, sort of strutting and bobbing his abdomen. You can see he’s cutting a move in the second photo,  I suggested combing the dandruff out of his back hair before he tries this out on an actual female bee.  :-)

Next time I go non verbal, imma do like the bees and break out into a dance number to communicate
