There is a reason why geese fly in V-formation. I am sure a lot of you already know this.

***
From the Library of Congress:

"...Scientists have determined that the V-shaped formation that geese use when migrating serves two important purposes:

First, it conserves their energy. Each bird flies slightly above the bird in front of him, resulting in a reduction of wind resistance. The birds take turns being in the front, falling back when they get tired. In this way, the geese can fly for a long time before they must stop for rest.

The second benefit to the V formation is that it is easy to keep track of every bird in the group. Fighter pilots often use this formation for the same reason..."

There are several things that human beings can learn from Ants and other creatures like geese about team work. Nice subject, Chris.
