Newark Museum Exhibits Smart Bugs

The extraordinary architecture, elaborate systems of chemical communication and division of labor is revealed through the displays of live ant, bee and termite colonies.

Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a bee hive or underground in an ant's nest? Have you asked why bees buzz around their hives or why ants march in a line? Have you ever puzzled over how these small creatures find food on this big planet?

Discover the answers to these and other intriguing questions by visiting our newest science exhibit, Smart Bugs: Insect Societies. Explore the amazing world of social insects by taking a journey through the dark, secretive and fascinating world of ants, termites and bees.

This exhibition has been made possible by generous support from Arlene and Len Lieberman, The Turrell Fund, The Newark Museum Volunteer Association, and the Fred C. Rummel Foundation. -- www.newarkmuseum.org
