Abstract
The honey bee nest is a masterpiece because of its engineering sophistication and mathematical precision. The complex structures and decisions of insect societies arise from what has come to be called swarm intelligence. The concept of stigmergy has become the organising principle to understand how simple, apparently uncoordinated activities of individual insects can build up to complex patterns.
