Ants are neat, and while that other guy was right about 'intelligence' not being a concrete concept, ants certainly can solve very complex problems.  The definitely don't wander around aimlessly and randomly like someone else suggested.  They have  incredible cognitive abilities for navigating from food sources back to their nests.  One of these is known as path integration, ants are able to keep in their memory all the different twists and turns in their path to find food so that when they do find food they can head in a straight line back to their nest.  They are also able to learn the location of different objects in their environment and use these to find their way home if they get off course, like if they get blown away by the wind or something!  When you consider that an ant's brain is smaller than the head of a pin, the amount of information they are able to hold in there and remember and manipulate, is pretty astonishing.  Using electron microscopes and neuroscience techniques, scientists have identified tiny clusters of neurons on the brains of some ants, called mushroom bodies.  They think that these structures are the sites of memory and navigational cognition in the ants. You might also find it cool to know that the navigational systems of ants have formed the basis of the navigational systems developed using artificial intelligence for robots.  And as for the division of labor, I think you are spot on.  Ants (and other eusocial insects) provide the natural world's best examples of self-organising systems and they are way cool and very neat!!!  Science nerds rock-on!

Depends on your definition of intelligence.They are most definatly able to problem solve and communicate but they cant nip down the shops for some fags and a newspaper.Although would you really say that a species that doesnt seem to have its own survival at its highest priority was intelligent?i think not.It depends on your definition!

I would have to say porpoises/dolphins...\nAccording to this article, they are smarter than chimps and possibly as intelligent as man...\nhttp://www.amusingfacts.com/facts/Detail/smart-porpoise.html\n\nAlso see:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_brain\nhttp://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/D/dolphins.html\nhttp://www.wdcs.org/dan/publishing.nsf/allnews/239F297BE9A133F380256FC700323B80\nhttp://whales7.tripod.com/policies/levasseur/levass2f.html

How do you think they retain their smartness?

A whole lot of bees together?\n\nThat's a "SWARM."

First, let's define smart as knowledgeable and wise (i.e., one who is wise is good at applying previously obtained knowledge).\n\nLet's use Tarzan and Jane as a demonstration.\n\nNature is not enough to make someone smart: Tarzan is by nature *able* to be smarter than his fellow jungle inhabitants. However great his ability to be wise and knowledgeable is, the jungle does not provide him with more knowledge than any other jungle animal. He also cannot gain wisdom about knowledge he has not obtained.\n\nNurture on the *foundation of nature* makes one smart: Jane "nurtures" (or tutors) Tarzan, providing him with knowledge. Tarzan learns and applies wisdom, and becomes smart.\n\nNurture is *not* enough to make someone smart alone: Jane could not have taught a jungle snake to be as smart as Tarzan, as the snake is limited in its wisdom.\n\nI submit that humans *generally* have the nature to become extremely smart (even geniuses!), and that nurture does not have to imply care received as a child. Most humans have the innate ability (nature) to become smart by gaining knowledge and wisdom. The difficulty, then, is having the opportunities (nurture) to gain *both* knowledge and wisdom, and not just gain knowledge.

Although a hive only needs 20-30 lb. of honey to survive an average winter, the bees are capable, if given the space of collecting much more. This is what the beekeeper wants them to do. Honey Bees are the highest form of insect life, they live in a well organised colony that does not need to hibernate. They produce honey and store it in wax comb and use the same hive from one year to the next.\n\nIndeed, they make lots of honey so they will have plenty of food for times when flower nectar is unavailable, such as winter.  Unlike most insects, honeybees remain active through the winter, consuming and metabolizing honey in order to keep from freezing to death.\n\nWorkers born early in the season will live about 6 weeks while those born in the fall will live until the following spring.
