No it doesn't. What you said was that:
The honey-bees behaviour doesn't sound like something that
would normally be put down to 'instinct' does it?
It involves measurment, lobbying, and a democratic process ...
Well, why not? The behavior, though outwardly complicated can be duplicated with a minimal ruleset, so why can't it be 'instinct'? It appears that you are arguing that 'measurment, lobbying, and a democratic process' are too complicated to be explained by instinct. My response is that they aren't necessarily complicated, so why is it outside the realm of 'instinct'.
