Around some leaf structure that had turned into a semi-liquid and a piece of twig whose wood has softened to the point of flexibility were the agents of decay. Bacteria swarmed through the vegetable fiber and algae. Cyanobacteria and bacteria strings (rods) circulated. An amoeba was there. Ciliates hovered about the bacteria swarms. It was like an African National Park of decay.

Busier than a hive a honeybees, during a honey flow!

I know. Bees are a good analog. They communicate chemically like bees.

I am quite familiar with honeybees, since I am a hobby bee keeper. I made an observation hive many years ago. I find them quite fascenating, also.
