Hive Communication

Hive communication refers to the way honeybees share information within their colony. They do this mainly through a "waggle dance," where a bee moves in a specific pattern to indicate the direction and distance of a food source. This dance transmits detailed information to other bees efficiently, enabling the colony to work together to find and collect nectar and pollen. This form of communication is vital for the hive’s survival and coordination, illustrating a sophisticated system where physical movements convey complex messages without needing spoken language.
