\nHoneybees perform the waggle dance to indicate the direction and distance to a source of food.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe waggle dance is a specific figure-eight dance performed by honeybees (Apis mellifera) to communicate the location of food sources, water sources, or new nest sites to other members of the colony. The direction and duration of the “waggle” run within the dance correlate directly to the direction and distance of the resource from the hive relative to the sun’s position.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThis remarkable form of communication was extensively studied by Nobel laureate Karl von Frisch. While other insects like ants also use chemical trails and other signals, the waggle dance is uniquely associated with honeybees for complex spatial information transfer.
