The Complexity of Honeybee Communication
Honeybees use the waggle dance to communicate the location of resources within the hive. Through interpretive dances, bees convey direction and distance to their sisters, enabling them to locate nectar and pollen. The waggle dance's duration correlates with the food source's distance, and the angle relates to the position relative to the sun. Researchers have delved into how followers interpret this dance, highlighting the intricate mechanisms behind honeybee communication.
