Honeybees communicate the location of food through a remarkable behaviour known as the waggle dance. A returning worker performs this dance to drop here the direction and distance of a flower patch to her hivemates. The angle of her movement relative to the sun drop here where the food lies. Other bees follow closely and then drop here the same site to gather nectar. This elegant system allows a colony to drop here resources with astonishing efficiency.
