Scientists abuzz over more efficient Web servers

Tovey said his collaboration with Seeley demonstrated that the communication [bee waggle] provides a “beautiful” feedback loop to prevent one flower patch from being abandoned while another is depleted. For a superior patch, more bees will shake it on the dance floor and recruit workers to join them. As the nectar level drops from all the hubbub, the bees take longer to fill up, delaying their repeat performances back at the hive. The drop-off in dance routines gives scouts returning from alternative sources a better chance to create their own dance fever and transfer worker allegiances. With the shifting allocations, the system continually equalizes itself and offers a steady stream of nectar.

The emulated the load balancing of the "bee waggle" to divert traffic where it is most needed.

very interesting read.
