Introduction – Amazing Quantum Bees
Bees are amazing. They are responsible for pollinating the plants that feed millions of people throughout the world. They travel very far and return precisely to the same place they left from at their own hive. They find food, come back to the hive, do a little coded dance for the community, and tell them where to find food.
Honeybees also have 170 odorant receptors and a sense of smell 50 times more powerful than that of a dog. They are truly amazing. These are quantum superpowers.
We are increasingly learning that animals, insects, birds, and even humans are interconnected with Nature through quantum signaling. Here is an example of how bees find their food.
Quantum Bees and Electrons
Quantum biology is about the body as it relates to particles and light from a physics perspective. In many ways, it is about electrons and protons, positive and negative charged particles, and the forces of Yin and Yang. More and more, we learn that living creatures use this relationship to navigate and survive. For the bees, their relationship with flowers is about this balance. Here is how it works.
- As you can see from the image above, the earth generates electric fields.
- Plants are rooted and have a mild negative charge. The charge increases the higher you go on the plant, thereby creating an electric field.
- Bees are negatively charged, but when they fly, they lose electrons and become more and more positively charged.
- Therefore, the flowers are negative, and the bees are positive. But, when they fly, they lose electrons and become more and more positive.
- During the bee’s final approach to the flower, electrostatic forces between these two bodies grow rapidly larger.
- What happens next is amazing. From a BBC interview about this topic, we have these details.
“And when it lands, the positive and negative fields immediately cancel each other out. As this happens, there are two very surprising consequences.
- Firstly, the plant’s negatively charged pollen actually jumps across onto the positively charged bee.
- Secondly, the plant has a changed electrical field, and when another bee comes along, it detects the altered electrical signature, and avoids the flower.”
Bumble bees can use electric information to discriminate between rewarding and unrewarding flowers (Clarke et al. 2013). They can also learn colour discrimination tasks faster when colour cues are paired with electric field cues similar in magnitude to those surrounding natural flowers. In effect, bumble bees did not learn as readily in an electrically neutral environment (Clarke et al. 2013).This evidence establishes that electric fields are part of the sensory experience of foraging bees, one of the many, multimodal floral cues. It seems, therefore, that floral e-fields are used to inform foraging behaviour in bumble bees.During the bee’s final approach to the flower, electrostatic forces between these two bodies grow rapidly larger.
Is Quantum Honey Harvesting Good for the Bees?
Bees perform quantum alchemy, too. They take nectar from the plants, then store it in their “honey stomach” and break it down further, then deliver it to the hive. They fan it with their wings, in order to thicken it, and then they store it there for the winter or for food during food shortages.
People oftentimes ask about honey and is this OK and kind to take the honey that they use for their community. People say they produce extra and that may be the case but, overall, it is theirs and oftentimes, any human interaction between animals, insects or other living creatures, especially for commercial purposes, cruelty is involved. Still, some people live with bees as friends and can be kind, but on a commercial scale, I avoid bee products.
Conclusion
Remember, one out of three foods is available because of our bee friends. Treat them kindly and show them respect on their noble journeys throughout the world.
