Honeybee Dance

The honeybee dance, known as the waggle dance, is a communication method used by foraging bees to inform hive mates about the location of food sources. When a bee finds nectar or pollen, it returns to the hive and performs a series of movements, including a wagging run. The angle and duration of the dance convey the direction and distance relative to the sun. Bees observing this dance can interpret the message and follow it to the resource, enabling efficient collective foraging and resource sharing within the colony.
