Since each bee has its own brain, this hive model suggests each neuron in our brain has its own brain. But i don't think that is how they want their model interpreted. Instead, the individual bee is assumed to be brainless. But if the individual bee is brainless, are they really modelling a brain with this hive model? I think what they are modelling is how a group of people may come to a collective decision.
