Honeybee Communication

What do honeybees and successful teams have in common? 

Both use multi-channel communication to coordinate complex tasks. When a bee returns to the hive, she doesn't just use one signal, she combines movement, sound, chemical signals, and physical touch to get her message across clearly.

Sound familiar? When we communicate important information at work, we do the same thing: email AND Slack message, verbal explanation WITH written follow-up.

Our latest episode dives into the sophisticated communication systems of honeybees and what they can teach us about effective collaboration.
