		By April and May, many colonies are crowded with bees, and these congested colonies may split and form new colonies by a process called "swarming."

	Gordon's Social Bees Page
		Bumble Bees are the least advanced of the major groups of Eusocial Bees and their foraging is limited by the fact that they have not evolved any means of communicating information reguarding utilisable resources.
		Bumble Bees are the only group of eusocial insects to initiate nectar theft, they do this by biting a hole in the base of the nectar spur or some other suitable part of the flower in order to allow themselves access to nectar from flowers they would otherwise be unable to get the nectar from.
		Honey Bees pass on additional information to their hive mates concerning the taste and odour of the food resource by means of tropholaxis, this is when one bee regurgitates from its crop some of the nectar it has collected and feeds it to another bee, when this is happening it looks like they are kissing.
