Can a swarm ‘learn’?

This is a question that arose in my mind after watching the program ‘Swarms’ on BBC iPlayer (not when it it was originally broadcast on Sunday).

My initial reaction is that they are pre-programmed to respond in certain ways rather than ‘learning’.

However another thought came to me, that it it is not only a matter of pre-programming, but also of providential care.  God cares for the whole creation and uses each part to fulfill his purposes.

This is intended to be a discussion starter, so feel free to comment.
