Some of Asia's bees have as highly developed a "language" as their European cousins, but others are "backward," according to scientist, Dr Martin Lindauer, of Munich University.
Dr Lindauer spent six months in Ceylon to find out whether Asian bees could, like those of Europe, exact information to their fellows about the whereabouts of food by means of dances.
