Good vibrations. Martin Bencsik is discovering more about how bees on the comb communicate.

We talk to Dr Martin Bencsik about the wonder of bees, their sensitivities to vibration and communication through sound.  Martin’s father kept bees but the young Martin disliked beekeeping and remembers his fear of being stung!  Ironically, today much of Martin’s research work as a scientist involves studying bees and how they cooperate in the hive specifically through the use of vibration - toots and quacks from the queens.  Fascinating new research.
