Bees talk to each other using a special dance, just like people use words. When a bee finds food far away, it comes back and dances in the hive, telling its friends exactly where the food is! It's like a fun little choreographed show.
Examples
- A bee finds a flower full of nectar far from the hive, then comes back and starts doing little circles in the air, telling all her friends where they can find food.
- If a bee sees another bee dancing excitedly, it knows there must be something really good to eat nearby.
- When a bee is afraid of a predator near the hive, it might shake its body to warn others about the danger.
