蜜蜂,美国缅因州,2007

中文注释：

由蜜蜂组成的群体，如图中缅因州阿普尔多尔岛上的这群，经常会对建巢的地点产生分歧。但它们一般都能选出最佳位置。蜜蜂们通过收集信息，开展独立评估以及进行某种表决来得出最后的决定。科学家们正在研究这种群体智能–如图中带有黄色和蓝色标识的蜜蜂，寻找某些相关线索，并以此推断人类应如何对复杂的系统进行操作，无论是运输路线还是军事机器人。

英文注释：

Honeybees, Maine, 2007

Swarming honeybees, like these on Maine's Appledore Island, frequently differ about where to establish a new nest. But the group usually chooses the best site. Bees reach this decision by gathering information, conducting independent evaluations, and holding a kind of vote. Scientists are studying such swarm intelligence—note the yellow and blue identifier dots on the bees in this photo—for clues about how humans might manage complex systems, from truck routing to military robots.
