Give me a reference to the phenomenon.

The phenomenon is the real existence of a spontaneous communication having taken place that is "meaningful" to the bees associated with the particular hive/queen, a successful communication that is not contingent on their individual spatial distribution/locations at the time of the communication. The bees are presumed to be not only not in direct contact with each other, but also not directly in contact with the hive/queen. Still, they become able to "know" something. And what they "know" causes them to alter their paths in consequence; i.e., they return to the hive.
