When a honey bee does its little dance to communicate to its sisters where the foods at, similarly to Google Maps computing and communicating the shortest path to your destination, is the bee conscious?

Yeah, probably. At least a little bit.

Are 80,000 bees conscious, or more conscious? Well, they’re definitely capable of some emergent behaviours that one be alone can’t achieve.
