Waggle dance
The waggle dance tells the watching bees two things about a flower patch’s location: the distance and the direction away from the hive.Bees communicate flower location using special dances inside the hive. One bee dances, while other bees watch to learn the directions to a specific flower patch. The dancing bee smells like the flower patch, and also gives the watching bees a taste of the nectar she gathered. Smell and taste helps other bees find the correct flower patch.
