Question

How do bees communicate to each other where the best flowers are?

In: Biology

Answer 1

Bees do this cool dance called the “waggle dance.” Picture it as a tiny, buzzing bee showing off its moves to point out where the good flowers are.

The dance’s direction and length tell other bees the distance and direction to the flowers. Kind of like giving directions without GPS, but with more wiggling.
