Las abejas gigantes (Apis dorsata) tienen un problema: hacen sus nidos al aire libre y, por lo tanto, son vulnerables a los depredadores. Para defender sus colmenas, han desarrollado un comportamiento inteligente llamado movimiento de oscilación ✨ en el que miles de abejas sincronizan sus movimientos para crear oleadas intimidantes.
