CANTON -- Cornell University Biology Prof. Thomas D. Seeley talks on "Honeybee Democracy" 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 4 in Hepburn Hall auditorium at St. Lawrence University.

The event is free and open to the public.

Seeley will describe how honeybees make decisions, collectively and democratically.

He will describe how bees evaluate potential nest sites, advertise their discoveries to one another, engage in open deliberation, choose a final site and navigate together as a swirling cloud of bees.

Seeley is author of “Honeybee Ecology,” “The Wisdom of the Hive”and “Honeybee Democracy.”
