I find homing abilities of some insects and birds amazing. Experiments show that Bumble Bees can navigate themselves back to their hives from as far as 8 miles (13 kilometers) away. For us to match this feat (on comparing our body length to that of a bee), we need to be able to find our home from 700 miles away!
What if bees are lost and can't find their way back home? Apparently, queen bees will likely start their own colony. Where as for worker bees, if they get lost and try to enter a strange colony, they will likely be killed by the workers in that colony.
