The technique that honey bees use to communicate information about new food sources to other bees is called the ZigBee Principle. Using a similar principle, engineers developed the ZigBee communication protocol that defines a set of high-level protocols using small, low-power digital radios. As the cost is relatively low, it is expected that such technology could be widely deployed in wireless control and monitoring applications. The mesh network in Zigbee requires very small amounts of power so that individual devices might run for a year or two using the originally installed battery.
