How Do Honeybees Communicate Through Dancing?

💡 The Answer

• Honeybees perform a waggle dance to share the location of food sources
• The angle of the dance relative to the sun indicates direction
• The duration of the waggle run indicates the distance
• A round dance means food is nearby within 50 meters
• A figure-eight waggle dance means food is farther away
• Other bees watch and decode the dance to find the exact location
• Karl von Frisch won the Nobel Prize in 1973 for decoding this behavior
