Yes. I watched something on this on tv awhile ago. They have specific "dances" they do for each action they have. Mating, Feeding, and Socializing each have a separate dance.

I wrote a research paper about bees when I was in University and no they really do not "think" as humans do. They are instinctive as the insects are. Their instincts are highly organized and this is why they are capable of managing hives and the specialized work they do. They are very grounded to the Universe and the relation of the sun helps them find locations; they return to the hive and "tell" the others where the "findings of good flowers" are by doing their "dance." The other female bees learn the location from observing the "dance" and go out to that same location.

yes but not as a single bee ,only as a colony
the animal in the bees case just as with ants ,is the whole colony ,the colony thinks as a single animal
imagine the bees as single seperate cells that together make up one animal
a single bee away from its colony dies
they have a complicated three dimensional dance in the air, that describes the exact location of honey to other bees
and a whole range of messages is passed from bees to bees
Ants ,and Termites leave messages by feramones and high frequency sounds ,they also think as a colony never as an individual
this is called colective consciousness
the theory is with humans that when we reach the level of Global consciousness ,we know what everyone in our species is feeling or thinking at the same time ,then we will have eternal peace because we are one
the internet is out biggest chance of reaching that level or come very close

All animals can think. It's human's ability to reason that sets us apart from the rest of the species'.

Yes they have to think because they make honey and know exactly which flower to fly to etc

yes what they think is that they need to eat and live in a community and what type of job they do in the hive.
