Honeybee Waggle Dance

The Honeybee Waggle Dance is a sophisticated communication method used by worker bees to inform hive members about the location of food sources. When a forager finds nectar or pollen, it returns to the hive and performs a composed series of movements—wiggling and dancing on the comb. The direction of the dance indicates the forage location relative to the sun, while the duration of the waggle conveys the distance. This precise signaling allows other bees to efficiently locate and collect resources, demonstrating an intricate system of collective information sharing vital for the hive's survival.
