The last 3 paragraphs talk about explore/exploit ratio in bee colonies - most bees "exploit" what others found, small number of bees "explore" new grounds.

We do exactly the same. We exploit in the times of plenty and explore when the going get tough. The same evolutionary forces act on us as a society as on the bees, so it is unfair to say that bees know better than us how to get that ratio right.
